Is it possible to convert one non-RAID disk to RAID-1 by adding a disk, without losing data or reinstalling Windows Server 2003? HP ACU cannot install, so I figured to do it from BIOS, but wanted to check with you guys. I am using HP ProLiant DL360 G5 with SmartArray E200i.

Cheers, Dusan

There is no need to install ACU, you can start it from the bootable HP SmartStart CD (you should have received it with your server). If I remember correctly, you will find it under Maintenance section in SmartStart.

BIOS utility (ORCA) doesn't have all the features in ACU.

  • I'd forgotten you could do that Groo, that said I'm still worried why he can't install it properly, wonder if this means the whole PSP install failed???? – Chopper3 Nov 04 '10 at 09:03

Yep, you can do it but only via ACU sorry (it's just a straightforward raid migration), so the question is why can't you get ACU working...have you got the latest firmware pack and PSP?
