we have a file server with a striped array for performance, on a dell poweredge with perc3 raid controller
we'd like to add in 3 new drives and create a raid5 array with built in redundancy like our main server
the problem seems to be transferring the current OS and files from our current striped array onto a newly created raid 5 array, then removing the original array completely leaving just the 3 drive raid5 in situ
after asking two independent IT support companies we are getting different opinions on whether it can be done, has anyone got specific experience on this issue ?
