But thats now aprox 6 years ago. I dont think it will hurt to have them at 8GB and the 4GB is just a legacy for some OSes that doesnt know about boot devices larger than 4GB.

List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 08 May 2007 09:45:21 -0000 Hi. I was wondering whether this works to expand a smart array 5i under FreeBSD. Example: I have a DL360 G3 with a smart array 5i and a raid 0+1 consisting of two 36GB physical hotplug drives. The are split into two logical volumes da0 and da1 each with a size of 18GB. - I want to have some additional logical volumes - but no space is left. - Additionally I don't want to loose the data on the raid 0+1. a) hotplug one of the 36GB physical drives and change it with a 147GB hotplug drive. b) rebuild the raid c) hotplug the remaining 36GB drive, also replacing it with a 147GB drive. d) rebuild the array e) enter der array configuration utility and find additional (147GB - 36GB) drivespace available for additional logical volumes.. well, would be nice if it worked :) Cheers, Kai. -- "Jesus was a Crossmaker" From owner-freebsd-proliant@FreeBSD.ORG Tue May 8 10:00:11 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4EB3616A409 for ; Tue, 8 May 2007 10:00:11 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from dkj@mondo.dk) Received: from exfe01.mondohosting.net (exfe01.mondohosting.net [80.82.96.72]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D178613C45E for ; Tue, 8 May 2007 10:00:10 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from dkj@mondo.dk) Received: from exbe01.mondohosting.net ([80.82.96.91]) by exfe01.mondohosting.net with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830); Tue, 8 May 2007 11:48:05 +0200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5 Content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 11:48:04 +0200 Message-ID: <5A2E41F487623E4AAC4270AE68E8BCD90BF074CA@Ensim-EXBE01> X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: capacity expansion of a raid 0+1 on smart array 5i Thread-Index: AceRVZyLrm5iTWDuRLm0ZWIWIpZaVgAAEGAw References: <4640406C.9070606@free.de> From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Dennis_Kj=E6r_Jensen?= To: "Kai Gallasch" , X-OriginalArrivalTime: 08 May 2007 09:48:05.0791 (UTC) FILETIME=[FA1EAAF0:01C79155] Cc: Subject: RE: capacity expansion of a raid 0+1 on smart array 5i X-BeenThere: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: "Technical discussion of FreeBSD on HP ProLiant server platforms."

I'll need HW here in the lab that uses the format in question, otherwise its way too tedious to figure out, and impossible to maintain (as you have found out). So until someone makes that happen I wont be able to do much about it, sorry but I have to prioritize my sparse spare time somehow.. > > I know I could always use software RAID but would really appreciate > any info on this. Well, its software RAID no matter what, just a question about the BIOS knowing about it or not :) -S=C3=B8ren ----------------------------------------------------------------- Having no means to provide the same server to him I ended up using FreeBSD's software RAID. :) Hope that helps.

So when i find out that the server won't boot , then I can insert the bootonly cd again and begin installing again. Rob kama 08-05-2007 10:33 To Rob Crommentuijn cc freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org Subject Re: settings for HP raid controller I have never been forced to set it to 8GB on FreeBSD, but when I installed Solaris 8 x86 on the same hardware I had to add it. But thats now aprox 6 years ago. I dont think it will hurt to have them at 8GB and the 4GB is just a legacy for some OSes that doesnt know about boot devices larger than 4GB.
