Re: Expanding the array on a DL360
You can use two methods to increase available disk space:
1) Do server backup (with your backup software or with GHOST software).
Replace disks.
Do server restore.
2) Replace first disk with a bigger one and wait for the rebuild to complete. Repeat that for the second disk.
At the end of the rebuild you will have free space at the end of the disk array.
Now you can use diskpart utility to extend data volume
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;325590
Note: Most likely you will not be able to use diskpart if you have only one logical disk (C:\) (usualy diskpart cannot extend system volume).
Only option in this case is to create new logical drive on unused space (you can do it in Array configuration utility) or use method 1.
Before you start:
-Update your server using Firmware Maintenance CD

-Make sure you have good backup

Re: Expanding the array on a DL360
Replace the first drive with the larger one, wait for rebuild to complete, then replace second drive, also waiting for rebuild to complete. Select to extend logical drive and it will place the new space at the end of the existing volume with Windows, showing up as unpartitioned space.

Re: Expanding the array on a DL360
In "replace one by one" method restore should not be necessary (I hope).

Re: Expanding the array on a DL360
If want to be sure, everything is ok, make a rescan hard drive in computer management/disk management. The disk need to be bigger and spanes need to be apear at the end of the disk)
After you expand the logical drive, you can use diskpart to expand the partition (you can expand only the last partition on the disk, if have more than one).
i hope it help...
