Hi all,
We are drastically run out of space on our exchange server on the mailbox store. The mailbox store is raid 10 so under the instructions of a friend I hot swapped all the drives for bigger ones, one at a time. The HP Array configuration utility is now showing that all the drives are the new bigger size and also that I have 570GB unused space on that SAS ARRAY, however this free space does not show up in disk management so I can not extend the volume.
Can I actually assign the free space in that array to the RAID 10 that is already there? I was originally going to rip and replace but was told this way would be easier and less likely to rail than a rip and replace. I already have all the log files on a different disk to free up as much room as possible.
My other option is to potentially move the database to a external hard drive and...
