Proliant 1600 Raid problem
During the installation of a Proliant 1600 server I made a mistake that I
didn't notice until last week. Instead of putting the first two hard drives of 9GB in a Raid 1 configuration (Mirroring) I seem to have made just a large disk of 18Gb that is partitioned into a C: drive of 4Gb and a D: drive that consumes the rest of the space. In the server there are three other disks (9Gb each) that I've put in a raid 5 configuration (The E: drive). One of those drives failed last week, and I had to replace it with a new one. Luckily this was one of the drives in the raid 5 configuration, so everything kept on running. After replacing the drive I had a look at the Insight manager to see if there were any problems. At this point I saw that the other two drives weren't in a raid configuration at all. Now I was thinking what would be the best strategy to put the drives in a raid 1 configuration without losing any data and without having to re-install the complete server. The server is used as an Exchange and internet-sharing server by the way and the data that is now on the 18Gb partitions will fit on a 9Gb drive as well. Using the drive manager on the startup CD of Compaq will probably erase the data on the drive right? So what other options do I have in this case? Thanks in advance for helping. Jan |
