Adding Hard Disk Drives

Notes
You can upgrade the server's capacity by adding hard disk drive
modules, for a total of six per HD Server. You can also replace
existing drives with higher-capacity drives. This chapter describes
how to install and incorporate an additional drive into your file
system, either as a spare or as part of the RAID volume. If you are
replacing a drive, either to repair or to upgrade the capacity of all
your drives, then see chapter 11, "Resolving Problems with Your
Server", for drive removal. Then return to this chapter for the
procedure to install the replacement drive.

Hard Disk Drive Modules Available

HP Product Name
HP 9.1 GB Hot Swap Ultra Fast&Wide SCSI-2 Disk Module D4289A*
HP 9.1 GB 10K rpm Hot Swap Ultra Wide Disk Module
HP 18.2 GB Hot Swap Ultra Disk Module
HP 4.2 GB Hot Swap Ultra Fast&Wide SCSI-2 Disk Module D3583C*
HP 4.2 GB 10K rpm Hot Swap Ultra SCSI Disk Module
When used in the HD Server, these modules cannot be hot
swapped while serving users. They only can be "warm
swapped", following a shutdown, with the power on or off.
The RAID volume capacity is limited by the size of the smallest
drive. For example, if the existing drives are HP D4289A
9.1-GB models, then adding an HP D5039A 18.2-GB model will
utilize only 9.1 GB of the available disk space. Adding an
HP D3583C 4.2-GB model will force all drives in the volume to
use only 4.2 GB.
