Question on RAID
I currently have a Proliant 5000 doing RAID5 with 4 disks. If I add the
final & fifth drive, and run SCU to reconfigure the SMART-2DH array controller so that the new drive is an off-line spare, do I need to have the new disk partitioned and formatted before I do this, or can you just plug in a "blank" drive and have the controller do all the work when it does the swapover in the event of a failure? |

No, just identify the drive as a spare and continue business as usual. - lc |
