I've got two similarly configured DL380G2 servers - dual proc, 1GB RAM, 5302/64 controller, mirrored 18GB OS volume.
One server has a 4-disk RAID 5 array using 18GB U3 drives with approximately 40GB of data.
The other has a 4-disk RAID 5 array using 72GB U3 drives and it is completely empty.
I want to swap out the 18GB drives with the 72GB drives to make more room available.
What's the easiest way to go about this? Remove the 18GB drives, put in the new 72's, create the volume and restore from tape?
Could I create the array on the second server, copy the data over from the first server and then simply plug the new drive in the old server?
