Windows Storage Server Disk Management

-

we use dell nx3000 series nas corporate file sharing.  contains 2 boot drives in raid 10 config (160 gb each) , 4 1 tb drives in raid 5 config.  the available space file sharing 3 tb.  need upgrade existing (4) 1 tb drives out of space , nas has 6 drive bays.  

the plan pull existing 1 tb drives , replace them 4 (4) tb drives , keep in raid 5 config.  first backup 3 tb file sharing partition external source restore onto new drives.  take 3 12 tb of available storage.  

my question how handle on windows side.  nas runs windows storage server standard sp2 (2008).   leave boot drives is.  question steps reconfigure disk partition using new drives?  attached screen shots of existing configuration.  help.  

hi,

if there misunderstanding please let me know:

you replace 4x1tb raid5 on windows storage server 2008 4x4tb raid5. files backed external place , restore later.

if 4x4tb disks connected computer without removing 4x1tb disks, little easier transfering files. current situation, could:

1. backup files 3tb raid5 external. suggest keep backup of ntfs permission icacls /save

2. disconnect 3tb raid5 , connect 4x4tb disks. choose gpt instead of mbr or not correctly recognized.

3. config new raid5 (software or hardware raid).

4. re-partition.

5. restore files new raid. if permissions cannot restored, use backup version created on steps 1.

6. if file location not changed, shares should still work. or need manually edit registry key below:

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\shares
