Hello
I have an SBS2003 ML350 G5
I must replace the available 4x146GB hdds with 4x600GB.
The hard disks hang on a SmartArray P600 and it is the main server.
Can I make it by this steps:
booting from a bootable CD (e.g., Acronis)
building an image to an USB hdd
change the hdds
configuring the RAID 5
booting from CD (Acronis) and playing back the image?
Is there a better, sure variation without new installation?
Many thanks

Unlikely: I doubt Acronis will recognize the P600 and what's on it.
Doesn't Windows Server allow to do a full backup (basically an OS image)? Then once you've replaced the disks and configured them as a RAID set, start the Server installation in recovery mode, and restore the backup.

Re: ML350 Smart Array p600 with RAID 5 4x146GB SAS
On another note: please do everything you can do load the OS on a RAID1 set and separate it from data. Yes that may necessitate a different controller and/or additional drives and arrays but well worth it in the long run.

Thank you for your answer. are you sure that acronis does not know the p600? windows backup does not support making an image! I would have to instal the server new. on system there runs a SYMANTEC BackupExec 11d. Unfortunately, I do not know whether it can create a complete image with all settings.
Windows Backup indeed doesn't support disk imaging but it does support full files and settings backup which will result in an identical Windows installation upon cold restore. If you are worried about Windows activation - that's a different matter: indeed, the disk (volume, RAID set) signature will be different, and will likely force to re-activate Windows, but then, so will different MAC addresses on network ports.

Re: ML350 Smart Array p600 with RAID 5 4x146GB SAS
Wo kann ich denn eine "normale" SATA HDD am G5 anschlie├Яen?
Mein Plan ist es, ein Acronis Image des RAID5 auf eine SATA Platte zu machen, und davon zu booten.
Erst wenn ich das System von der Sata HDD booten kann, und alles funktioniert wie vorher, m├╢chte ich das vorhanden RAID zerst├╢ren, die gr├╢├Яeren Platten einbauen und das RAID neu Konfigurieren.
ACRONIS 9.6 Advanced Server Boot CD findet mein RAID 5; das konnte ich bereits testen.
Ich habe nur die Bef├╝rchtung, wenn ich das Image auf eine USB Platte lege, das RAID aufl├╢se und aus irgendeinem Grund das Image nicht auf dem neuen RAID l├дuft, das die alte Konfiguration auch nicht mehr bootet, das ich ja das RAID im Controller aufgel├╢st habe.
Der ML350 unterst├╝tzt laut Handbuch keine IDE HDDs, nur Laufwerke.
Herk├╢mmliche SATA Anschl├╝sse finde ich keine, auf dem Board sind laut Handbuch SATA/SAS Anschl├╝sse, die aber zu gro├Я sind, f├╝r ein "normales" SATA kabel.

SolutionAt the and of the day..it works very fine.
Here are my steps to change to bigger Hdds without data lost
1. Boot the server with ACRONIS Advanced Server 9.7 CD
2. Image creating to internal LTO2 ( 300GB RAID5 -> 3h)
3. Label the old hdds (1,2,3,4) - if you want to re-boot the old configuration, you may in no case the reverse order of the drives
4. put in the new, bigger hdds
5. create a new Raid 5
6. boot with ACRONIS Advanced Server 9.7 CD
7. Recover the Image from the LTO to the new RAID (3h20min)
8. After Finishing - boot the server - the server started without error message
9. the partition size has not changed - c: = 290GB Unpartitioned = 850GB
10. Reboot and start with ACRONIS Disc Director 10 for Server
11. Partition c increases to maximum - new size 1.2 tb - duration: 10sec
12. started the server - everything works fine !!!
13. Smiling , smoking a lucky strike, drinking a good german beer
greetings and thank you to all the helpful members
