I already below server and raid setup done. this server is windows 2012 R2 and using as hyper V virtual machine which is - replication enabled with another same hardware same configuration.
HP DL380P Gen8 - SQL database server -Raid 5 setup.
- Now need to add more SAS HDD to existing RAID 5 in Hyper V host machine - because running out of space in virtual machine for SQL database.
How to achieve this?
question. - currently there are 5 sas hdd /300gb each raid 5 enabled. can i hot add a new sas hdd 1.2tb in existing raid 5? or in order to add more hdd in existing raid 5 I would need to remove raid and reconfigure from start.
what if I remove raid - will my VM and sql data in VM will go away?
