If the server is rebooting randomly, sounds like a hardware problem. Nothing in your software combination seems out of the ordinary. I would swap parts with the other 2650 to isolate the problem. The 2650 has hardly any wires so swapping parts should be pretty easy. Because of...
If I understand this correctly, you want to dynamically expand virtual disk defined by a hardware raid controller. This cannot be done even with parition magic without losing the data. The best way to do this is to back up all data on all partitions, recreate the raid array as you desire...
Backup your data. You need to rebuild your array, but need to protect yourself before you do it. If I remember right you need to check to see how the raid controller sees the drive. The drive probably needs to be replaced in this raid 5. Call Dell T/S and ask them for help rebuilding this...
You cannot dynamically expand a scsi array. Once an array (virtual disk) is defined, the configuration is set. In order to add additional drives, you need to delete the container (virtual disk) and recreate it with the new drives included in the container (virtual disk). This is because of...
