[Closed] PowerEdge T410: Increase store capacity of a RAID5
Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to increase the store capacity of a RAID5.
We do run a RAID5 with three HDDs (each 500GB and same make/model) in our PowerEdge T410 at the moment and get a usable capacity of 1TB (930GB in fact).
Now I would love to upgrade this to 2TB usable capacity and wonder if it's possible to just replace one HDD by a 1TB HDD at first. Wait until it's synchronized. Then replace the next one. Wait. Next one.
Am I right assuming this is going to work or is there anything I should take care of?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards
Sebastian

Hi,
thanks for your response.
I have a couple of questions left. I hope you don't mind. :-)
1) According to the table on your link I will have to add an extra HDD in order to increase capacity. Why's that? Can't I just take three 1TB HDDs instead of three 500GB HDDs as we do run them right now?
2) What's the correct order of operation? First replacing the HDDs as I wrote in my initial post (or put a fourth one in instead of replacing the other ones by bigger ones) and THEN reconfiguring the RAID?
3) Can I do the reconfiguration via OMSA or do I need to do that in the RAID / BIOS area?
Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot!
That's just as I thought. :-)
At least the replace-rebuild-step.
Would you mind concretizing the last step for me? I am not really sure what to do as I have never seen any configuration options in OMSA but only monitoring functions.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards

Hello there,
I see. Thank you very much.
I just wondered if there is any kind of tutorial / documentation that shows the required steps to perform in OMSA.
Thank you very much!
