We’ve maxed out the storage on one of our HP Proliant ML350 storage servers. I’m looking for options to expand storage on this unit.
Here’s what we have:
Proliant ML350 G4p Storage Server
Windows 2003 Standard Edition SP2
Smart Array 642
Physical Drives:
SCSI Array A
2- 36.4GB HDD
SCSI Array B
4- 300GB HDD
Logical Drives:
Array A
Logical Drive 1 27.5GB RAID 1
Logical Drive 2 7GB RAID1
Array B
Logical Drive 3 1.2TB RAID 0
———–
All disks are set as “basic” disks in Windows.
Any suggestions on expanding the Logical Drive 3?
Could I hang an HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array on the RAID card and go from there?
Will the fact that the disks are setup as “basic” disks give me a problem?
Any way to convert that Logical Drive to RAID 5 without losing data or having to recreate the data?
Thanks much.
