Re: Changing a RAID configuration - Adding/removing disks

Thanks.
I'm going to ask a dumb question: What is the significant difference between DST and SST? Seems like sometimes I hear them used almost interchangeably (e.g. "Use DST or SST to ....") I used SST to add the drives to the ASP after they were installed and when I went to try to start device parity protection on them, that is when I ran into trouble.
So, I'll need to be at the console to do this so it will have to wait a few weeks until I am back on site. But it looks like it is pretty straightforward, 

I appreciate the help.

Pete,
The new drivers are 70GB vs the original ones at 35GB. (But you knew that!) You should be able to start parity on those drives even now with the data on them. They can be in the same ASP, that's not a problem they will just be a different RAID set.
Boot the thing to DST to into Work with Disk Units, then tell it to Start Disk Parity. If it doesn't let you do that with the data still there then you'll need to remove the new drives from the ASP, then start Parity, then add them back into ASP 1.
