new hard drives in proliantPartition Magic??? ----- Original Message ----- From: David Mazzaccaro To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 4:16 PM Subject: new hard drives in proliant
I (successfully) replaced all 4 (72GB) hard drives in a proliant server w/ 4 (300GB) drives. I replaced one drive at a time over the course of a week. Everything is working great, the Raid 5 array is only using them as 72GB drives. I realize this is exactly as design. So, Now I would like to utilize the extra 200GB on each drive. I believe this is called expanding the array? Not sure where to go from here. The array configuration utility has an option to do this, so that shouldn't be a problem? After that, I assume I have to expand the logical drive to utilize the new space, and then somehow tell Windows to expand drive? Thanks. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
