I have a Dell 1950 server with two 70Gb SAS drives. Both drives are showing an amber flashing light, and OpenManage displays both drives in a predictive fail state.
Dell have sent me to two new drives under warranty, the new drives are 300Gb.
1) What is the procedure for replacing the dives, I would like to keep the server running without restarting if possible.
2) Can I RAID controller cope with different capacity drives?
Cheers,
Nathan.
