Hi!
We have at work a Dell Poweredge 2400 server with a Perc?? Raid controller and 3 drives in a raid-5 configuration.
I and the admin inserted a fourth hotswap drive into the server. We then started a Array Manager program that the admin got from Dell.
After a rescan the program saw the drive. We then Initalized the drive, and the reconfigured a virtual array so that the new drive was part of it.
In the reconfiguring the maximum amount (MB) was used.
The program tried to do something, but we can't see an increase in the available space on the virtual array!
The admin just told me he can't get the array manager program to open anymore...
What have we done wrong, or perhaps, what steps should we have taken to properly get the thing to work?
My first time playing with these things, and the admins
Any help and comments appreciated!
