Hello,
It is about time that I replace some hard drives on my AS2000 server.
I am running 4.0g .
Here is my current setup
4 4GB drives in Raid 5 with a AdvFS domain mounted on the raid set.
Here is what I am planning
4 9GB drives on Raid 5 with AdvFS domain restored onto raid set.
My questions are these:
1) How much time with this take? (I have to backup the system
probably 2 different ways, remove the AdvFS domains and then initialize
through the raid controller. Then restore the data and TEST TEST TEST)
2) When I do a full backup with vdump level 0 am I backing up every
single file (including hidden and etc)??
3) Is there a "fall-back" method that I can use in case something
doesn't work with the hard drive replacements?? (I have the hard drives
still in boxes directly from compaq)
If anyone has gone through this any help would be appreciated. I haven't
gone into all of the details here in this email but I do relealize that
it will be long and tedious to complete. I have most of what I need to
do I just have these basic nagging questions. (Yes that means the loss
of another weekend and football) :)
Thanks for your assistance.
