Add Extra HDD to Server
Hello all
My server had one array(Raid 1+0) with 4 SAS drives. I needed extra space so I added 4 more drives identical to the old ones, and I created a second array(Raid 0) with them
Then, I changed the new disk to Online and everything seems to be fine, but the hard disks led is RED
Is there an issue here? what is it?
I appreciate your help.
The four on the left are the old ones, the four on the right are the new ones

Re: Add Extra HDD to Server
Hello,
good that you add Photos, this makes it clear for Diag.
This is the "Do not remove" Button, it is a Warning, that if you remove one of these Drives or one failed, everything is lost.
The reason for this is, that the Logical Drive 2 you create is a Raid 0 Raid.
If that was on purpose, everything is fine and then it is just a reminder, if not, it would be better to recreate as Raid 1 or Raid 5.

Re: Add Extra HDD to Server
Hello,
As per shared phot I did not see the RED LED.
I would suggest wait for next couple of days.
Let me know if any issue.
