Converting from RAID 5 to Mirroring

by agtcna . Updated 25 years, 4 months ago

Server is Compaq Proliant 6000, NT4 (SP6a) with Compaq Smart Array 3100ES Controller, and three 9GB Drives in RAID 5 configuration. For a variety of reasons we wish to change to Drive Mirroring. Is it possible to install a large enough drive and mirror the array (volume)to the new drive, remove the three old drives, install a second new drive (identical to the first new drive) and set up mirroring. Thus no longer running RAID 5.
