RAID 5 and rebuilding

by luv2bike2 . Updated 20 years, 2 months ago

this weekend I plan on replacing the 4 SCSI hard drives that I have in my Windows 2003 Server Standard Edtion with 4 new SCSI hard drive that have the same HD space, same RPM’s and hopefully the same Firmware versions. The current hard drives are in a RAID 5. My plan of attack is to replace one hard drive at a time, and have the RAID rebuild after each replacement. My question is–after I remove the current hard drive, do i restart the server before putting the new hard drive in? Or do I just take the old hard drive out and put the new one in and than reboot and pray that the rebuidl

thanks,
Robin
