Need a little help,
Environment Windows 2003 server
Raid 1 run on Disk 0 & 1 = C: drive
Raid 1 run on Disk 2 & 3 = D: drive
Getting message that Disk 2 is going bad.

Now the question if disk 2 goes bad will it automatically read disk 3?
I want to replace disk 2 how do I go about it. here is what I think
1) break mirror
2) put in new disk
3) recreate mirror with disk 3

Is this correct? or do I first have to do something to point to disk 3? and
then create the mirror?

Want to replace the HD before it goes bad.

thanks
 
Re: Disk Mirror

Hello Sam,

Before breaking the mirror, i would strongly recommend to make a backup,
if something goes wrong.

So you have no RAID controller in your server and use only disk management
from windows for RAID configuration?

Your steps are ok. See also here:
