easy config makes guesses on your behalf, new config lets you make all the decisions.<br />
two drives - not many choices to make!<br />
<br />
I assume you have backed up the data from the 2x147gb ?

Yes, i did an image backup using ShadowProtect<br />
I used New Configuration to configure the array succesfully. Then it started Backgroud initialization automatically. I can not see the progress! Can I restart the server and restore the image while the background initialization is running? If i wait it to finish, how long will it take?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Dell PE2600, PERC 4/Di<br />
Two arrays - RAID 10 (4x73GB) and RAID 1 (2x147GB)<br />
<br />
Now we will replace 2x147GB with 2x 300GB.<br />
<br />
In Ctrl+M, should i use &quot;Easy Configuration&quot; or &quot;New Configuration&quot;? Why?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
