Re: 270 upgrade from mirror to RAID with 2763 ctrl

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much Sue,

I did have a printout of the system-config from SST
and learned from there that there was a "LB01" and a "LB02"
resource, the 2763 showed up on the "LB02" without any disks
under it. So I thought, I had to swap something between the two
towers.
I solved it this evening, went there, the 2763 was in the main unit,
had 4 disks attached to it and no disk controller at all in the expansion
tower ! Are these entries in hw resource manager correct, then?
I think they are not, but anyway, I only had to add two disks (my lack
of info this morning), with six slots available the system is now happily
running with RAID-5 protection in the main unit.

Regards from Germany, have a nice weekend, Philipp Rusch
