HP ML 350 RAID
Hi,
we have a Proliant ML 350 G4p server.
2x72 GB drives in Raid 1.
One of these drives have now failed, and we are planning to replace the drives with 2 new 146 GB drives (to extend storage and replace failed drive). So i wonder, whats the best way to do this?
Create a new array from the 2 new disks and migrate the logical drive?
Or replace the failed drive, rebuild, and then replace the other old drive and rebuild?
The Raid controller is a Smart Array 642.

Re: HP ML 350 RAID
Backup before doing it.
Add the 146GB as a spare. Let the array fail over to it. Backup after its healthy. Set another 146GB as a spare and fail the other drive. I would get a third and put it as a spare before you do either. Get good full backups.
Then you can expand the RAID array and OS partition.

Re: HP ML 350 RAID
Ok,
thank you.
I was not sure if we could use the extra disk space if we did it this way.
Can we do this while the server is online or should i put it offline to rebuild?
