I have a IBM Netfinity 7600 with 8 9GB disks in a array
with hardware mirror (RAID-1). Machine with 3 processors,
2 GB of RAM memory. We will add more 6 GB of RAM, with a
total of 6 GB RAM
Disk is divided in C: and E:, via software (partitions
created by windows 2000)
The ideia:
1) Backup FULL with ArcServer (system state, data, etc)
2) Redo the RAID with other disks (for example: 6 disks
insted 8 disks, or 9 disks intead 8 disks)
3) Reinstall a basic W2K OS and do a restore with the new
array size.
The restore will work, even the number of disks changing?
A second ideia:
Do the same as previous explained, but the step 2) can
include a second step, by adding 4 36GB disks doing
another new hardware array in RAID-5 with a new drive
letter F:. for example. The restore of the previus system
will work?
