Hi Managers,
I have an RA3000 attached to an Alphaserver 1200 running vers 4.0G. I have
configured 6 of the disks in the array into a one virtual disk raid 5 set.
The 7th disk was not available for unknown reasons (later determined to be a
disk error that was undetected by the HSZ22 or the lights on the front of
the disk????), but has since been replaced and is now available.
Is it possible to add this disk into the raid set without disturbing the
existing data and requiring a restore/rebuild of all data? This may be a
simple question, but I can't get my head around it. I am using Storage Works
Command Console and can now see the disk, but can only find info in the
manuals for creating/deleting virtual disks and adding devices online, but
not anything on adding a device to an existing virtual disk.
Any help would be appreciated, as always I will summarise.
Regards, John
