expanding raid1
PowerEdge R6525
The OS raid 1 using BOSS-S2 controller is running out of space, 240GB.
What is the best option to expand the OS drive compacity without rebuilding or loosing data?
I understand the most straight forward option should be replace the two 240GB SSDs with larger ones? And should follow the below steps? but BOSS-S2 doesn't support consistancy check and put drives offline action. Could I hot swap them with 480GB,2E,IT06,M.2 sticks?
- Put in a larger drive.
- Have it rebuild the array on the new drive.
- Put in the second new drive.
- Have it rebuild the array on that drive.
- Then expand raid volume.
- Then resize the partition in windows.
Dell mentioned the server has a backplane, so can consider 2x 960GB SATA SSD 2.5” Drives as alternative option. I am not sure what do they mean. Can I use them without rebuilding the server?
