We have two old file servers. They are limited to 2 Terabyte logical drives. One is a mirror of the other. It is MUCH mroe convenient if the logical drives in windows are the same size (as opposed to a large drive on the source, and 4 small drives on the target).
We recently bought a new primary 10TB file server that has no 2TB limit. My plan is to set up one large 8TB drive on the source.
I will combine the disks from the old 2 servers to make four 2-TB drives on one of the servers. Then I will convert them to dynamic disks in windows 2003 storage server (HP) and make an 8TB spanned drive.
I've never used dynamic disks or windows-based raid (or spanned) drives. Is this OK to do? Anything I should be concerned about? Thanks.
Thanks,
Andrew
