I have a DL380 G5 with P400 controller. I am looking to remove an 8 disk array, and replace it with 8 larger disks. The plan is to
main plan:
-shut down the server
-remove the 8 original disks, label their positions
-boot the server, press F8 to run the ORCA utility, delete the array , shut down server
-insert 8 new disks
-boot the server, hit F8, create a new array
Rollback plan:
If things didnt go as expected with the new disks and build.
-shut down the server
-remove the new disks
-press F8, delete the new array
-put the old disks back in the original positions
-boot the server
-does this plan look okay?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: advice on deleting old array, making a new one.
It is a good way to secure things "just in case".
Starting fresh (with a new setup) might be a hassle, but in the end always more ideal IMHO.
