I have a DL580 G4 server that was configured with a single RAID 1+0 array across 6 physical drives.
We were starting to run a bit low on disk space, so I figured (perhaps incorrectly!) that if we put in 2 additional drives, we could expand the array to include the 2 new drives. I've had experience expanding RAID 5 arrays but not 1+0.
There does not appear to be an option to expand this RAID array with the 2 additional drives. I can only use them as hot spares, or create an additional array.
I just wanted to check and see if I am missing something critical...
I've had some difficulty finding material on what I'm trying to accomplish. But I could be searching for the wrong things...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Solutionno worries at all expanding Raid 5 it is the same as expanding a RAID 1 the point with your P400 is looks like it does not have BBWC which enables all those features EXPAND/EXTEND in your case

Re: Expanding RAID 1+0 - DL580 G4 SmartArray P400
I'll see if I can get that part ordered and I'll let you know how it goes. I suspect it will go quite well according to the other posts.
Thanks!
And Happy New Year to you also!
