Product: Proliant MicroServer Gen8
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2016

Hi

I am configuring a Proliant Gen8 microserver and a question came up to mind, that I would love to solve before continuing with setting up the server.

 

How can I replace an HDD in case of failure and/or upgrade?
I am configuring 2 1TB HDDs as RAID 1 that will then become 4-8TB RAID 10 HDDs.

How would I go about the transition? It took me hours to understand every time I touch an HDD the RAID controller needs to reset.

Can I just switch 1 1-TB drive for an 8TB, wait for it to clone the data and do the same with the other? Would it be a bootable drive?

 

Sorry I am quite new to RAID and servers, hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Hi:

 

HP split into two companies several years ago.
