Replace hard drives on a Netware Server

Locked

by john.salvador · about 20 years, 5 months ago

What are the procedures to follow or things to watch for on doing this. We have a Compaq 5500 with 8 hot swap 4.2 GB drives. We want to replace these with 8 hot swap 9.1 GB drives. Any tips or outline order of what to do?

Many thanks in advance….

  Well first off backup your Netware Server. Then install your new drives and configure RAID using Compaq’s Insight Manager and preform a plain Netware installed using the server’s old name and ip address. After installation is complete then just restore the data and your all set. This is a little time consuming however it is the best way to to something like this. However this assumes that this server does not hold the Master replica and if it had a R/W or R/O then you must delete it before you do anything.
