Server 2008 And Raid 1

Featured Replies

One for the Server bods in here.

 

Dell 310 Server running MS Win Server 2008R2 with 2 1TB drives in Raid 1.

Raid is done via Perc200 ? controller

 

C: Drive 40GB  Running OS and SQL Server 2012

D: drive 900GB ish for data.

 

Need to increase size of C: Drive.

 

Whats the best way to go about this chaps?

 

 

i'd get a bigger hard drive and carbon copy the c drive to the new one.

 

there is a program that you put onto a disc, and then you boot your computer from the disc and the program copies the contents of one drive onto another. you then just swap the old drive with the new bigger one, which has worked well for me in the past.

 

can't remember the name of the program though unfortunately.

It's 2 hard drives remember, Raid 1

 

Don't neeed bigger drives, jjust the best - and safest - way of shrinking D and increasing C

Any of the partition resizing tools should do it, they shouldn't care what the underlying disks are.

I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:

But is it best to 'break' the raid and do each disc desperate?

Id pull one drive for a backup and then run the array degraded.

use gparted to change the partitions. Once succesfull wipe the other drive and then rebuild the array

No, I don't think it is really worth it.

 

You could take it as a chance to test the RAID mirroring though. 



But, of course, before any of this, backup, because RAID isn't a backup.

Got various progs but none work direct on Server. £100+ for that option 8-(

 

It's one of those jobs where you get one go at doing it within a small window of opportunity.

gparted is available on a gui linux live cd
