Re: GL380 - Raid 5 Array - install larger drives
We needs to configure a new Array with larger harddrives thats for sure.
I'm also sure there are some softwares in the market that can take complete backup & then restore it to the formatted server.
Now for the other Questions the replies are :
If a 36.4 gb drive is removed & say a 72 GB hdd is installed then the array will rebuilt but it will only use it as 36.4 GB so we will not get any increase in space.
Hope that will help
Thanks

Re: GL380 - Raid 5 Array - install larger drives
DL380 supports maximum 6 hdd.
So I don't think so there is any possibility for Expansion/Extension.
Because if all the hdd are configured in a RAID, so as soon as you replace any hard drive, Rebuilding will begin automatically.

Re: GL380 - Raid 5 Array - install larger drives
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! That is exactly the info I needed. I have 6 - 146.8 gb drives that I am going to try, and as you mentioned, 1 at a time until the Array is rebuilt between each one. Awsome feedback, and excellent help. Thanks again!

Re: GL380 - Raid 5 Array - install larger drives
If you want to do this without downtime, do like this...
1. As allways make a complete backup of your array.
2. Replace one 36.4 GB drive with the larger drive. Wait until rebuild of raid is finished.
3. repeat step 2 until you have replaced all the 36.4 GB drives...
4. Go to ACU, now you will se that you have free space in the array, choose to resize the logical volume so that all free space is used.
5. If the array holds the bootpartition you need to use either volume growth from HP or another software that allows you to strech a bootpartition.
If the arrays only hold data you can use diskpart utility from MS.
