Can anyone tell me where I can get instructions on how to configure Three Sun 4GB drives on a Sun 450 Server as a raid 5 array??<br>

Thanks,<br>

Yes I am. I am just unclear how I can reconfigure the server to see Raid 5 after I have installed the OS. I appreciate any help you can offer.

I am not sure you will get the root disk to perform raid5, since the volume manager encapsulates the unix file system said down by the install process. I believe the best you can do with the root disk at that point is a simple mirroring. However, any subsequent data disks added with the vaolume manager can be defined how ever you like.
