Hi,
This is in a production environment where I need to delete the existing hotspare which was already configured as hotspare and then add additional disks to the server and then combine the deleted/free hotspare disk to this newly added hard disks and create a RAID 5 disk to store more data.
I am looking into the IBM Server RAID Manager information which can do this, and also I am just trying to be little bit cautious like what are all the necessary precautions that I should take before doing this.
1. We are going to do a full backup which is for sure
But any additional things that I should know and who has done this before, I would appreciate your comments on this.
thanks
