Our XServe G5 has three 80GB hard drives in a RAID mirror w/ hot spare and is running out of space. I would like to know what is the best way to minimize down time and replace all three drives without destroying the existing configuration in the process.
Can I simply take one of the 80GB drives and use a firewire enclosure to boot from it? If so, this would allow me to have the server running while I install 3 new larger drives and build a new RAID. The problem I then foresee would be how to recover/copy the 80GB back to the new RAID. Is there a way to do this as well? Unfortunately I do not have a second backup server to use during the upgrade process and I am trying to keep down time to a minimum. Please advise. :question:
