I have 2 servers each fitted with 3 x 35Gb SCSI drives configured as RAID 5 using an Adaptec 2120S controller card.
I want to replace the drives with 3 x 150Gb SCSI drives and never having done such a task am wondering if it is as easy as I think .
One server hosts ISA 2004, DNS and Routing & Remote Access the other server hosts Exchange 2003, DNS and DHCP.
Both servers are backup up using Acronis TIE Server (stand-alone) to tape, acronis secure zone and backup server.
My idea is to enure backups are validated, backup exchange separately using NTBackup, remove existing drives, fit new drives and carry out a recovery using the Acronis software safe in the knowledge that if all goes TU I can refit the existing drives and have a re-think..........unless of course you know better .
As the work is scheduled for next week I would be grateful for timely responses.
Thanks in anticipation of an easy job.
