ML370 - Expand storage in RAID5
Hello,
Although I've seen an excellent answer to a similar question, my scenario is a little different. The server is an ML370 first generation (no Gx stamping) with a smart array 431 / 3-18.2GB drives in RAID5, 3 expansion slots empty. The actual partitions in Windows 2000 Server are:
C: 4GB
D: 29.9GB
I desperately need to expand the room on the C: drive and the room on the D: drive could use expansion, but it is not critical. I am willing to purchase 3 new 36 GB drives and install them, but I don't know how to make them part of the array and increase the partition sizes after that.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Re: ML370 - Expand storage in RAID5
Thanks. I think I know what I need to do now, thanks in part to that documentation. I can install all three new drives, use the array configuration to expand the array, then I believe I have to use windows 2000 server disk management or a partition management tool to change the partition size.

Re: ML370 - Expand storage in RAID5
an extra step from SW has to be done after HW part over, make sure update SCSI Driver , firmware for array controller and Latest Array Config Utility
