Upgrading drives in a PERC H730P Adapter RAID 10 array
I have a PowerEdge T440. It has the PERC H730P Adapter with four 2TB HDDs in a RAID 10 array. I plan to replace (hot-swap) the HDDs with new 2TB SSDs. I plan to replace the drives one at a time, allowing time for the array to rebuild after each replacement. I have the latest version of Dell OpenManage Server Administrator installed and working. Questions:
- Can I expect the RAID array to automatically rebuild after replacing each disk?
- If not, can I use OpenManage to start and monitor the array rebuild? How?
As an alternative, what if I add the SSDs as hot spares, then promote the spares to front-line members of the array, retiring the HDDs?
- Will the added SSDs automatically become hot spares for the array?
- If not, can I use OpenManage to add them to the array as hot spares? How?
TIA!
