Need help adding hot swap drive to Dell Power Edge T320 Server
asked on
I have added two 600GB drives to my server but do not see any additional storage space. Can anyone help?
I have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server running Windows 2019 Server.
The server uses hot-swappable 2.5 inch drives.
There is room for 16 drives.. we purchased the server with 7
The system is configured with one of the raids, I can find it which if needed
Each drive has an LED above it which normally lights green, but one of the drives has been flashing yellow. We need more drive space as well, so I purchased two new drives and installed them one at a time.
Upon adding each drive it flashed green for a while, then became steady green. They look normal, however, no additional disk spaces has shown up..
File explorer shows:
Local Disk (C:)
DVD Drive(D:) VMware Tools
Local Disk (E:)
Each drive I added in about 600GB so I am expecting some additional space to show up somewhere.. but the amount of space available in my Local Disk E:, which is where I need to add the storage, has not changed.
I installed the drives with the machine running, I have also rebooted...
