  5 X 146GB raid 5 extend

  Posted by Ajay Kamble on August 4, 2012 at 9:30 am

  HI!,

  I am new to raid array & want to extend existing raid 5.
  I need help to extend array.the current setup is as follows,

  Array A
  unused space : 349956 MB

  logical drive :1
  total size 273GB
  raid5
  disk : /dev/cciss/c0d0

  physical
  1I:1:5 – 146gb
  2I:1:1 – 146gb
  2I:1:2 – 146gb
  2I:1:3 – 146gb
  2I:1:4 – 146gb

  now I want to use unused space. How can I extend the array using unused space?

  another thing I have 2 more unassigned disk.
  1I:1:6
  1I:1:7

  if I want to use that too, how I can extend the existing array?
  I dont want to loose any data. server is in production.
  so I want to use “hpacucli” command.

  all help appreciate.

  Thanks,
  Ajay

  Sounds like an HP RAID controller? HP server as well? Which ones? The OS – Linux?

  Did you see this tutorial?

  Have you tried running an HP ACU GUI version? (That would make array expansion a no-brainer.)
