HP Smart Array 6i Controller and 128MB BBWC - Manual (Page 33)

Replacing, Moving, or Adding Hard Drives 33
c. Open ACU and navigate to the controller that contained the RAID ADG
volume.
ACU displays the missing RAID ADG volume using a different icon to
indicate that the volume is unavailable.
d. Delete the RAID ADG volume.
e. Accept the configuration change, and then close ACU.
f. Power down the system.
4. Move the drives.
5. Power up the system. If a 1724 POST message is displayed, drive positions
were changed successfully and the configuration was updated.
If a 1785 (Not Configured) POST message is displayed:
a. Power down the system immediately to prevent data loss.
b. Return the drives to their original locations.
c. Restore the data from backup, if necessary.
6. Check the new drive configuration by running ORCA or ACU ("Configuring
an Array" on page 9 ).
Adding Drives
You can add hard drives to a system at any time, as long as you do not exceed the
maximum number of drives that the controller supports. You can then either
build a new array from the added drives or use the extra storage capacity to
expand the capacity of an existing array.
To perform an array capacity expansion, use ACU. If the system is using hot-
pluggable drives, you can expand array capacity without shutting down the
operating system (that is, with the server online) if ACU is running in the same
environment as the normal server applications. (For more information, refer to
the HP Array Configuration Utility User Guide.)
