Re: HP Proliant ML370 G5 Can't expand the array

hi

"Do i need to remove the BBWC after expand the Array ? "

no at all, leave it in the server


"...Could you please explain me why the ADU report this message ? "


it is just informational message since since your added more HDDs data needs to be striped and parity has to be calculated again that's way you see that message there it will be gone in a few days it depends on:
- HDDs speed
- server workload
- amount of BBWC
- RAID level
- how many HDDs

Background Parity Initialization

Certain Editions of HP Array Configuration Utility and Array Diagnostics Utility in SmartStart 8.00 Display Potentially Erroneous "Background Parity Initialization" Status for Even-Numbered RAID 5 and RAID 6 Logical Drives
