Should I try to upgrade the server or do a clean install?
I always do a clean install. It's more work but it feels safer to me.
If clean install, can I install the new version to the other smaller drive so that I can select in the boot also the older version? And thus be sure that I can access the files on the RAID.
Yes.
Will the new version be able to find and use the RAID if I do clean installation to the other drive?
There should be no problem unless there's something very strange about your RAID. In any case, the installer should detect the RAID so you can see whether it appears to work before you actually install.
Finally, how do I install this with CD+network as the guide here: http://en.opensuse.org/Installing_from_Internet is pretty... well confusing. :-) Do I just download the .iso by selecting the "network" on this page: http://software.opensuse.org/112/en and go on from there with feeling?
Basically yes. That page is indeed confusing. Give it a go and see how you get on. You may find this useful http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse112/book_opensuse_startup/?page=... If you get stuck or confused, just come back and ask here. You won't harm the existing installation and can reboot into the old server setup if you need to fallback.
