You can add the two drive and build a mirror raid set. Then add to ASP and Balance. Depending on the controller they are connected to, you may be able to stop the mirror raid and start a 4 drive Raid 5 set, which will give you better performance and more storage but not the same level of protection.

Palme Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 11:44 AM To: Mid Range List Subject: Adding some additional drives One of our machines is running with two (2) 6713 drives which are mirroed. We are currently at 62.23% used on this set. My question is since this ia 9406-170 and we have a total of four slots, can I just add two additional drives (larger) and mirror those two together and then do a disk copy to move the data from the old drives to the new? I plan on updating the two we have and expand it to the 4 drives allowable.....any suggestions would be appreciated. Douglas If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
