Extending drives on a Win2k Server - Compaq DL380
hello,
I added two 36 gig drives to my Compaq DL380 and booted into the SmartStart CD 5.3. I wanted to add these two drives to an existing Array1 (Win2k Server is installed on Array1). I went through the wizard , said yes i wanted to expand the drives, but when i went through extend .... it said it is not supported on Win2k. How do i extend these drives to an existing array? I can't lose the data on Array1 and i can't reinstall the OS. Someone mentioned to bridge the two arrays, but i couldn't find any information in the documentation on how to do that. thanks! |

1: Back up your data
2: If you have dynamic disks only use a 5th generation or higher , SA5300, SA642 , etc 3: upgrade firmware on both system board and array controller 4: make sure you are using at least SP 3 on W2K 4a: make sure you ACU is the latest (4.9A) 5: once you do this ignore the message and pray (95% success rate if followed exactly) On Tue, 13 Jan 2004 12:30:35 -0600, "rod" wrote: hello, I added two 36 gig drives to my Compaq DL380 and booted into the SmartStart CD 5.3.
