Installing Dell PERC 5E and Dell PowerVault MD1000 on Dell PowerEdge 2800
This is possible since Windows thinks these drives are locally attached. You can expand the volume using the Windows Disk manager, but that will cause you to loose all existing data on that drive. Otherwise, you can use a third party partition software like <a href=”http://www.partition-magic.org/server.html”>partition magic server</a> to expand the partition. <a href=”http://www.partition-magic.org/hardware-raid/resize-raid-5-partition.html”>http://www.partition-magic.org/hardware-raid/resize-raid-5-partition.html</a>
