Hi, I use LVM, and what I have done about a year ago on xSeries 335: - exchange first disk - wait for rebuild to be complete - exchange second disk - wait for rebuild to be complete - boot to the serveraid tools, and create a second volume (disk) in the empty available space - boot linux and add that new volume to the LVM system - now you can use the new space without any restrictions, or special considerations. Instead of adding it to the lvm, you could also create a new mountpoint, and use the new space like that, of course. Hope this helps. mj Chris Arnold wrote:
OK, i know this is not an opensuse question but i want to see what others have to say about this.
I currently have an ibm xserver running SLES 10 SP2 with 2 drives of 36gb a piece (this is an active/production server) in raid 1 (hardware). I want to replace those 2 drives with larger drives without losing any data. What i have tried so far is to remove one of the 36gb drives and install 1 of the larger drives and hope that it would rebuild and see the "extra" space. But this does not appear to work. What is the correct way to do this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
