Hi,

I am gonna install RAID 5 on 4 live servers .. need help with it.

the current setup is working and is running win2k/exchange/sql etc...
the current server has 2 HDD and a onboard SCSI controller.

I want to add 1 more HDD in each of the servers along with a IBM ServeRAID controller card and then implement RAID 5 on all of them.

is there any way I can restore the OS and the softwares installed on them without re-installing using Acronis or Ghost ?

if I create a image of the entire HDD and restore it using ghost or acronis on the newly initialized RAID 5 will I be able to run the Repair setup and specify a new HDD controller (F6 option)

thanks a lot guys ... any inputs will be much appreciated.

I dont want to touch the existing setup which is running fine (70+ users on AD, sql, exchange)

thanks again
