Re: How to install additional hard-drives on Proliant ML370
Does the server have a Smart Array controller? Most Proliants do, but you did not give specific model generation details.
You can tell if you have a SMC bu going into the device manager, looking under SCSI Adaptors and seeing if one is listed.
Assuming you have a newer 370, it probably has 6 drive slots. The standard 370 comes with no Smart Array controller, only a SCSI adaptor. If that is all you have, then all you can do is software based RAID within Windows. If you have a high Performance model OR you know you otherwise have a Smart Array controller, you have a few options.
1. Create a new 3 disk array and a new Logical unit using the Array Configuration Utility. This will add more usable space to your server, but NOT extend your existing space.
2. Expand your existing Array with the 3 drives incrasing the usable disk space. After expanding is complete, you need to extend your logical drives or create new ones. Once complete, you would need to extend your windws partitions if you extended your logical drives OR initialize the new logical drives and format them.
3. Tell us where you at.... at this point for further options.

Re: How to install additional hard-drives on Proliant ML370
my ML370 have a SAC 431, but when i launch the utility (Utility Compaq Array Configuration) it says me that the physical unit didn't allocate yet (the "old" unit). My ML370 have 6 drive slots (as you say) and for now, only three are utilize. We have been placed the other three units in the slot. So now we must to configure it.... Can we try to follow your step in this case?

Re: How to install additional hard-drives on Proliant ML370
It sounds like the array controller is in the process of doing something. You may or may not have to wait for it to finish depending onthe operation.
As long as the controller is not trying to complete a rebuild, you should be able to create a new array OR expand the existing array.
Which version of ACU do you have?

Re: How to install additional hard-drives on Proliant ML370
Now we try to expand the present logical unit.....
I hope that it's working properly
