I am currently having issues trying to expand a raid5 that is running on a perc 5/i with the latest firmware, drivers, omsa 6.1, centos 5.4.
I replaced all the disks with bigger ones and let the raid rebuild each time. I ran a checkconsistency before and after, everything checked out fine. Now when I try to expand the raid, omsa is giving me the following errors: # omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=0 vdisk=0 size=max raid=r5 pdisk=0:0:0,0:0:1,0:0:2,0:0:3 Invalid size parameter: reconfiguration size can not be specified by the user on this controller. So I take the size out... # omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=0 vdisk=0 raid=r5 pdisk=0:0:0,0:0:1,0:0:2,0:0:3 Cannot reconfigure to the given RAID level Ok, now I take the raid level out... # omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=0 vdisk=0 pdisk=0:0:0,0:0:1,0:0:2,0:0:3 Error! Required parameter missing: raid=<r0|r1|r5|r6|r10|r50|r60|r1c|c> And this is where I am at a loss now. Everything I have read in Dell's documentation says a perc 5/i can do this, but obviously something isn't working correctly here. I don't understand why it says it can't reconfigure from raid5 to raid5 either. Blowing away the vdisk and recreating isn't really an option in this situation on this machine. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
