Hi All,
I would like some advice on the following:
We have a D3700 enclosure with 25x 1.2TB SAS Drives with Smart Array P431 controller attached to HPE DL380p server. The D3700 is configured with 5 Arrays, each array has 5 drives including a hotspare (activate on failure only mode). Now due to requiremnt of more disk space, I am now considering removing the hotspare drive from each array and replace them with 5 SSD drives and form a new array from 5 SSD drives.
Can this be achieved without losing data as our server is running 24x7? Not sure how exactly I can remove the Hotspare from each Array. (alter the configuration of array from Array with spare to Array with no spare)
Any device will be appreciated.
Rupert

Thanks Cali.
That's encouraging.
I had a look at Smart Storage Administrator, it seems nowhere I can unassign the hotspare drive from an array. I will have detailed look later.
Kind regards,
Rupert
