Add more disks to raid 5 hot\añadir más discos al raid 5 en caliente.
Hi, I have a Dell Storage NX3230.
I have a raid 5 with 6 discs and I want to extend this raid because I no longer have space.
What is the best procedure to do it without losing data.
I need to expand the disk with the users working.

Hello cdelprado,
Yes you can add the drives to your NX3230 and add the space while the system is in production. What I would recommend is that you first get a backup of all your data on the system before you expand the virtual disk. Also what I would do is to do the expansion when the system is at a low I/O time. When you do the expansion it will slow the virtual disk some while the expansion is in progress.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
