I need to expand a logical drive that our SQL databases are on, sadly it is RAID10 so i have to wipe the volume and re-create it.
What would be the best workflow for doing this? All that is on the drive is some files, and the SQL databases\logs
I was thinking:
-Force run of barracuda backup
-Detach all SQL databases
-Shutdown SQL
-Backup to external HD
-Shutdown server, install new drives, wipe logical volume, create new one
-Boot server, assign same drive letter to new drive
-Copy files over from external
-Start SQL, attach DBs
---Profit?
Am i missing any steps here, anything to be careful of?
