I have a question about adding a new hard drive to my existing raid 5, 4
disk set.
I am running Tru64 Unix 4.0e. I have a raid-5 4 drive set already
installed. These drives are 4.3GB each. We currently have one open slot
for a hard-drive and have a KZPSC-BA model PCI backplane RAID 3 channel
controller. All of my current scsi ID's on one channel are already
taken.
How do I go about adding a new hard-drive? Can I add a new drive to an
existing RAID 5 and not have to reload the existing data onto the the
complete set??
Would I do better to try and get my company to expand to a 4 drive raid
5, 9GB set. (4 drives of 9GB each)
I don't want to be faced in the future of a complete upgrade but then
again I don't want to have excess either.
