Dear Friends,
I have two HP DL380p GEN8 hardware setup with same configurations.
Using this for SQL database server service
HyperV replications enabled for Virtual Host (SQL Database server) between two servers. SO if any one HP 380p Gen8 hardware fails other server will take over.
Easch Server has 5 SAS 300GB HDD - RAID 5 Configured with 1 spare hdd so usable space is around -850GB usable.
Now the issue is in SQL database server i have two partiions c: drive for windows and d: drive for sql data files.
We are running out of space in D: drive SQL data so I need to expand this drive for more space - like currently free space is only 100GB so need to increase it till around 800GB or more.
I have three empty bay now so can add maximum three more SAS harddisk.
Questions -
1.- How to add more HDD without disturbing the existing RAID configuration. since this is production server so not want to loose any data.
