Defrag on RAID?
Hi all Is it possibble to do a Defrag on RAID5? I mean, if the data is across all the physical disks I wouldn't have thought it would be possible! Cheers -
HDD Detection
Hi All I have a Compaq Proliant ML370 and I recently purchase 6 refurbished 18gb drives. All drives were detected but one and the fault light was on on the caddy. I tried swapping caddy's and slots but it didn't make a difference. I concluded that the drive was faulty and made do with the other... -
Newbie RAID Questions
If I am unable to use Ghost or similar, how do I backup? Or do I just rely on the mirror on RAID1 Also, can I add a HDD while the server is still running? Is this what is called "Hot Swapping" Thanks -
Parity Initialization
Yes it helped, thank you. Although I don't know what a "parity bit" is, the main thing is that I haven't done something wrong. Cheers -
Parity Initialization
Thanks cajuntank. I ended up using Paragon Partition Manager and did it that way. By the way, the Logical Drive 2 (RAID5) is setuo with 3x 18Gb drives, however the Logical Drive is only showing a total of around 34Gb. What has happened to the other 18Gb? I thought RAID5 combined all the... -
Parity Initialization
Hi all I am currently setting up my Proliant ML370 server with a RAID1 & RAID5. Logical Drive 2 is setup with RAID2 and apparently has a background Parity Inialization in progress. I understand that this may take several hours to complete? However I would assume that I would still see the drive... -

Creating Websites in IIS6.0
Hi all If I want to add multiple domains to IIS6, would I add "New Site" to the Default Website, or add "New Site" to the server under the Default Site? What would be best practice for web hosting? Thanks- no1youno

Newbie - Proliant M370
I see. Now that I know that performance is the same on both RAID 5 & RAID 0, then I think I will go with the way you suggested. Do all the drives need to be the same size on RAID 5? Cheers -
Newbie - Proliant M370
OK, how about this: If I create RAID-1 with 2 of the 6 disks as Drive C:, and 2 for Drive D:, is it possible to create RAID-0 for the last 2 disks which will be drive E: Also, can partitions be created on these three logical drives, even the 2 disks (drive E:) on RAID-0? Lastly, is it possible... -
Newbie RAID Questions
Hi all I recently picked up an old Proliant ML370 that I'm wanting to use to replace my current "server" that is just a desktop. Before I start on the ML370 I was hoping someone could please clarify some things on RAID. Firstly, all I know on RAID is what I have researched in the last week, and... -
Newbie - Proliant M370
Okay, if I mirror them, and I assume mirror is RAID 1 and what is written on the first drive is written exactly the same on the second drive, does this double my storage capacity or is the second drive just a backup? -
Newbie - Proliant M370
Thanks guys. All this information is very helpful. One more question; do I need to use RAID? Is it possible to just use one disk as C: and another for D:
