Poweredge T140 with PERC H330 Adapter
Hi there.
I have the server in the title and i need more space. I have installed 2 more SSD. Tell me what i need to do?
First i need to convert them to RAID? When i try to convert them idrac inform me: "
RAC0516: Converting physical disk drives to RAID-compatible will overwrite any OS-created RAID arrays.
Make sure that there are no OS-configured RAID arrays, and then click OK." This action will not touch my existing 2 drives right? Because i have OS and database installed :)
And another qurestion, can i expand my existing volume with this 1tb?
Thanks

Pistah,
The error you are encountering is a warning about potential data loss whenever you run a process related to the RAID configuration. It is a good practice to always have a complete backup before making any changes to the RAID configuration to mitigate the risk of data loss.
Regarding the specific issue of Online Capacity Expansion, I can confirm that it is supported. You can refer to the provided link here for more information on its support. Additionally, there is a video available here that demonstrates the process of performing Online Capacity Expansion.
I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
