newbie need to know how to add new disk in the current raid 5 array... !
A. current raid 5 array had 4 disks online + 1 hot swap at 100GB each. the raid controller card version is 6i.
B. i would like to add 2 more 100GB to expand the current size of the Raid 5 array.
i would like the correct seq to do it ?
here is my understanding after i read some suggestions here :
1. Add 2 new drives into any free disk slot in my server.
2. start the IBM Raid manager in windows environment
3. then i should be able to see 2 new drives with "ready" status ...
4. what should i do now in the server raid manager? can anyone provide more detail procedures? thank in advance.
