Hey, Just wanted everyone to know that I created that bootable SmartStart CD, ran it, extended my drives into the new space and you guys rock! Everything came out alright :) Thank each and everyone for your input. This thread is complete! Kevin

Blister911, you're amazing! :) I was going to look for that last night but it was very late and I was very tired. You made my job a lot easier. Thank you again. Kevin Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the info. The Compaq ACU installed on Windows does offer me the option to extend the logical volume. I was just concerned that it might dump my data. Is the SmartStart version of ACU different from what I have installed on the server? I will format the 2 old drives that I have...

Hey guys, Found a quote on another thread by SPI200 in November '06 that says: "Once complete then using the HP ACU "Expand" the array which will allow the controller to take up the additional space which you have now installed (new drives). Follow this you then need to "Extend" the array into...

I would like to expand the existing 36GB array to full capacity (about 72GB) of the 4 new 36GB drives that I just installed. I do have the original SmartStart CD that came with the system. I will need to boot off of this to make this config change? When I was attempting to do it thru the Compaq...

Hey, I also installed the known-good drives from slots 2 & 3 and put them in slots 4 & 5 for additional storage. I think I will mirror one against the other for a single 18GB drive. Thoughts?

Okay guys, it worked! :) I have replaced and rebuilt all four of the drives. I went to expand the RAID 1+0 drive from 36GB to 72GB and only find that I can create a new one. Looks like if I "delete last logical drive" I will loose everything. Am I reading that right?

Blister911, The existing 1st 2 drives are mirrored to the 2nd pair of drives. All 4 are 18GB each. All 4 I have replacement 36GB drives for. The drive in slot 0 is very bad. Slot 1 is intermittantly bad. This being said, should I now use a different approach to the replacement and subsequent...

Burt, sorry, not in St. Louis, but Lodi, CA. Thanks - all. I will bak all up to another system before beginning and then follow directions. Can't start project till this afternoon. I'll update later. - Kevin

Thanks guys. I will begin this process tomorrow at this site. The OS is Windows 2000 Server. I have two 18G HDDs RAIDed to two more 18G HDD, making 2 - 36G logical drives in one array. Everything that is on the first two is supposed to be on the second two. (This is my backup, right?) The 18G in...

I have a client with Compaq DL380 G2 that I am upgrading HDD that are a larger than previous. RAID 0+1. One of four existing drives bad. How do I upgrade them with the larger drives? Thanks, Kevin
