Migrating RAID/Reconfiguring Partition Scheme
Greets all,
I am working with a PE2500 (HMDVH11) with a PERC3Di and 3/36GB drives in a RAID-1 (3rd drive is currently unused) running SBS2k with C:(8GB) and D:(25GB) and I need to migrate to RAID-5. BIOS/FW/drivers/etc. have been updated to latest version. From reading the forums and what documentation I have found, I am getting conflicting reports on whether or not I can do this on the fly w/o having to backup, migrate, restore. I am relatively new to Dell servers and PERC controllers so my learning curve is at its steepest right now. In addition, I would "like" to reconfigure the partition scheme as well (i.e. resize D: and create E:) but this is low on my list of priorities. Any assistance or kick in the right direction is appreciated.
