PERC 5 / I have a question

Hello

I need to increase the size of my virtual hard disk for the file server, but the only way to do so is by transferring to the larger storage space that my current RAID1 configuration is saturated.

Could you let me know if the following look correct?

Fast facts:

I have Power Edge 2950 with PERC 5 / i and slots 6 x 3.5 inches. Two are occupied by two others by fileserver again in RAID 1 RAID 1 with MS Hyper-v, the last two in RAID 1 e-mail server.

My action plan was:

1. stop the physical server.

2. remove the two hard drives in RAID 1 with mail server

3. Insert two new hard drives in their place and set them up in PERC 5 / i like RAID 1

4. start of Hyper-v

5. in the hyper-v management console export and import the file server to the newly created new configuration RAID 1 volume.

6 host physical shutdown.

7. remove the two hard drives RAID 1 creation who organize the original File Server

8. replace in hard drives RAID 1 with Exchange server instead of RAID 1 with old file server

9. in the course of POST import foreign config (with Exchange server) what guest

Do?

Unless there is an easier way? Or am I a missing something (other then of course resizing the virtual hard drive once on new RAID 1 config?)

Thank you guys

Sebna,

Yes, it is good and also the support procedure to increase the size of the array. I see that you might encounter is only if you do something as a backup of the System State, which can cause problems because of differences in size and disks. In addition, as you said, the VHD resizing.

Let us know how it goes, and if you need any other assistance.
