Not have any prior knowledge of server hardware/storage I thought it was a simple matter of just adding new drive to my DL380 to add extra space.
I currently have 4 x HP 146GB 10K SAS 2.5 DP HDD's (assuming RAID5?) and want to add a 300GB SAS drive into it to increase storage space.
Being a hardware-server-noob I'm not even sure what type of drive would be compatiable with my current 146GB SAS drives. I've read that I would need to add identical SAS drives to my disk array but am not confident on how best to do this.
Questions:
1. What type of HP drive/s would I need to insert to increase storage
2. How do I integrate to the current array?
Any help would be appreciated
