Hi There,
I have a quick question to ask, I have an Iomega 400r Nas server and the original IT crowd set it up with an 8Gb C partition. I have to increase the size of the C partition but I have just realized that the RAID configuration was done through Windows Server 2003.
It was originally setup with a Mirrored C drive of 8GB, a RAID 5 D drive of 670GB and an unallocated portion which is also 8GB just the same as the mirrored C partition. The NAS has in total 4 x 232GB physical drives.
Is there some way I can add the unallocated portion on to the end of my C partition? I am using Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 to do my system images. I was able to test the restores on an old server I use for testing and they seemed to work.
Now my senior support guys tell me that because the RAID is software based I’m going to battle to do the restore, or that the restore will go through fine but after wards Windows is going to cause trouble.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out how I could solve this. I would like to be able to just build the RAID using the on board RAID controller and then running the restore from System Recovery, but now I’m uncertain if this will work or not.
