We have 4 new hard disks for our HP Proliant ML370G5. Our plan is to plug them and create 2 new RAID 1 arrays.
My questions are:
1) Do I need to turn off the server to plug them? If It were possible I would like to avoid to turn off the server.
2) What tool do I have to use to create these new RAID 1 arrays?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solutionhi
1)
yes you can add the 4 new drives while the system is running
2)
use ACU (array configuration utility) for setup
if you have a windows system, go to start->all programs-> hp system tools
3)
if you cannot find ACU install the SPP (service pack proliant) - chose at lease the ACU utility
you can find the SPP here: www.hp.com/go/spp
4)
once you have started ACU select your controller.
now click on the controller (top most entry)
select "create array"
select 2 of you 4 disks and save
now select create logical drive and select raid1.
repeat the steps for the second raid1 array.
best regards
