add drive volume to raid array
- Thread starter rkmorrow
- Start date
Simple, but backup the entire machine...
Place the new drive in the machine, go into the raid setup, "view or change" or "Add configuration", depends on how you go into the setup; under NO circumstances do you want to choose NEW configuration. Make sure the drive is online, setup the drive as a Raid 0, you may need to inialize the new Raid 0 (if this is an Lsilogic OEM card, as PERCs often are). Just be careful you work on the one drive, stay away from the raid 5 array setup. Once the raid 0 is setup you will need to go into Windows disk manager, the new unallocated space should show up, partition/format the unallocated space.
