Hi,
I have a server that has the OS drives mirrored Raid1. It has 3 additional drives setup as Raid5. These 3 drives are 72GB. The system was up, and running fine when I did this. I replaced each drive 1 at a time with 146GB drives, and let each 1 rebuild before I replaced the next. All 3 drives have been replaced, and the system is running fine, but it only sees those drives as 136GB (72 x 2) in disc management. Is there a way that I can have it see the additional space without having to redo the raid5 setup on the controller itself? I relize that I would have to allocate the additional space, but at the moment I can't see it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Don
