I need to add a 2nd hard drive to a DL360 to be used as a mirrored hard drive in a RAID 1 array. The DL360 currently has only 1 hard drive and is running RHEL 3.
Can this mirrored configuration be added without having to re-install the OS and applications?
Can someone post the steps to do this or post a link to some documentation about this?
Thanks,
Casey

Re: Adding 2nd hard drive to DL360 for RAID 1 mirroring
Can you confirm which generation DL360 you're using...
Assuming that your drives are attached to a SmartArray controller, then yes you should be able to do what you want. For example, a DL360 G3 has a 5i SmartArray Controller built in.
The Quickspecs for that controller here:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11063_div/11063_div.HTML
state that it can do "Online RAID Level Migration (between any RAID level)"
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

SolutionThe G4 has a SmartArray 6i controller as standard, so its very likely that it is this that the drive is connected to.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11937_div/11937_div.html
The 6i controller has the same RAID level migration features as the 5i.

Re: Adding 2nd hard drive to DL360 for RAID 1 mirroring
I have the commands saved to a text file on another computer that I currently do not have access to since I'm on vacation. I'll post the the text file when I get back home this Saturday, July 14.
From what I remember I ran two commands from the CLI. The first was the command to add the 2nd drive to the array. This took quite a while ~ 4 hours or so, not exactly sure. Once the drive was added to the array I ran the command to change RAID configuration.
Sorry, I'm drawing a blank on the exact commands but will post the details this weekend.
