Hi there
I will first of all say I am not an IT pro, but can follow instructions and generally not brick stuff!
I have OMV 0.5.60 installed on an HP Micro Server. At the moment I have a pair of 3TB WD red drives installed, but these are nearing capacity in a straight mirrored RAID config.
I'm intending to buy 2 more 3TB WD reds to fill the available bays. The server gets used to backup a desktop and laptop on a weekly basis and is largely used for media server duties around the house, so lots of music and large video files.
Is there a walk through guide to adding additional drives and what steps I need to take in what order for OMV to recognise them?
Given the above usage what RAID config is recommended? I'm happy to live with 1 drive failure to give maximum storage, but not sure what other factors I need to take into account?
Grateful for any guidance - I haven't yet ordered the drives but will be doing so shortly.
Adrian
