Adding an 18.2 Gb (10Krpm) hard disk to the existent 4 x 9.1 Gb (10Krpm) hard disk├В┬┤s.
The actual configuration is:
- Server Proliant 1600
- Smart Array 3200 controller
- SmartStart version 5.5
- 4 x 9.1Gb hot-swap hard disk (10Krpm)- Raid5
- OS: Windows 2000 Server + SP2
- Compaq ACU for Windows version 2.90A
- Windows SA 3200 driver version 5.14
I├В┬┤m including the Compaq survey as attachment too.
My concern is if I need to update some firmware, driver or ServicePack to do this job successful.
Thank you in advance.

SolutionYou Can expand the Array; but you will have to create new logical drive.
You cannot extend the original logical drive.
First you will need; MS sp3 minimu; Latest firmware and Array config Utilities;
but as per HP ; they don't support driver array extentions on 3rd and 4th gen array controllers.
There is 50/50 % chance of it not working.
Drive Array extentions; is only support on 5th and 6th gen controllers with latest firmware and also Software configurations utilities.
In your case: (may or may not work)
If you want to attempt it:
1- need MS sp 3 mininum
2- Latest PSP for windows 2000

3- latest array controller firmware
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/14979.html
4- latest Array configurations utility
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/20622.html
Best regards,
Tarek.

Re: Proliant 1600 w/SA 3200 expand array
NOTE: When adding the 18GB to the 4 drive array of 9GB drives, the controller will truncate the size of the drive to 9GB. No one mentioned that here I see.
If the server is up when the drive is inserted, the controller should ask you what to do with it and give you some choices. You could just launch the ACU and configure it that way.
As for extending either of the logical drive, I do not think that is possible in your current configurations because if I read that right you have 2 existing logical drives in the one RAID5 set. I think that can only be done if the set contains a single RAID logical drive(not to be confused with OS partitions)
