Hi all,
I have a R720 with a Perc H710P controller running two RAID sets,
1- Presently installed are: 2 x 300GB RAID 1 system (C:, E:) + logs & 8 x 300GB SQL (D:).
2- I would like to add 6 x 960GB SSD in RAID 1+0
3- Replicate my D: on the SSD array
4- Put the SSD array as my D: and change the letter of the array 8x300GB
5- Restart the server, test to be sure that evrything is runnig on the new ''D'' ans that theres is no problem;
6- Erase array D:, and remove all the drives.
7- At this point I will have : 2 x 300GB in used in the server and 6 x 960GB SSD.
After that I would like to extend the 2x300GB to at least double the capacity (and speed) by adding 2 more drives to the array.. since it is my systemhard drive I dont know if it is possible. Otherwise I could put 4 hard drive (or 6 drive) of 300GB in the server, and move my E: which is also on the system array toward the new arry of 4 or 6 hard drives.
Am I dreaming ? Should I expect problems, like replicating the D: and change the letters?
I need to do this soon, please your feedbacks.
Thanks
