Single drive to RAID 5

[Will Manley]

Hi,

Probably been asked this before but how easy is it to convert from a single drive to RAID 5? I know I need to make Windows 2003 aware of the SmartArray641 card first before doing any migration but beyond that what utility would I run to migrate the data?

Hope somebody can shed some light,

Will

Hello Will,

Download the windows Driver for SmartArray 641 so that the OS detects the controller card:

Than Install the Array Configuration Utility. Using this utility you could manage the array.
