Running a Compaq Server, WinServ2000, ExchServ2000.
Twin 36 GB SCSI in a mirrored array, partitioned as c: (7.81
newand OS
defragon
it) d: (26.06 Page file on it)
I have only 1.2 gb free on C: and 4: gb free on D and want to
my
Exchange on c: where the files are now.
That won't work, so I want to see if there is a way to add 2
partitioningmovelarger
drives (for budget reasons, going SATA 80 GB) (This is until I
Exchange
to the new 2003 system I have)
I am wondering:
Can I add the new drives in a mirrored array, with
SCSIof c:
strategy .with
20gb, and D: with the balance?
How do I move the old C; and D: to the new drives?
Waiting until your disks are full to the hilt is a dangerous
.. .Yes, for $999, I am not inclined to go there (I can buy SEVERAL 10K
You could move your system to the new disks like so:Will TrueImage work on Server 200?
1. Break the mirror.
2. Clone the old disk to the new disk, using an imaging
product such as Acronis TrueImage.
3. Rebuild the mirror.
Instead of using an imaging product, you could also boot
the server with a Bart PE boot CD (provided that it recognises
SATA disks - I have never tried!), then use xcopy.exe with
the appropriate switches to copy everyhing across to the
new disk.
Of course, if it does, that fixes my problems.
Thanks,
John
The server version will, of course, but it's not exactly cheap.
toThis may be better sent to the folks (Well, Bart).drives for that price)
If I break the mirror, and image them, is it easy to re-do the mirror
status, or have I lost that ability?
John
Building a mirror is as easy as breaking one. If you're
reluctant to buy the Acronis product, use the free Bart
PE boot CD I suggested. It's a terrific tool anyway
and I think every system administrator should have one.
I do not see how the Bart' product will make an image of my system.
Am I juust making the "system" image, and then my data etc can be "moved"
another location?
Thanks
And did I miss it, or is it for XP?
The Bart PE CD will boot into a WinXP look-alike
environment. The cloning process is very simple:
1. Launch Windows.
2. Partition and format the new disk.
3. Make the first partition active.
4. Break the mirror.
5. Boot the machine with your Bart CD.
6. Use xcopy.exe with the appropriate switches to copy
the old disk to the new disk.
7. Remove the old disk.
8. Reboot.
Since you're not touching the old disk, this is a risk-free
operation.
