I am planning on upgrading the hard drives in a Dell Poweredge 2400 from
three 36GB drives (RAID 5 configuration) to three 73 GB drives. The
server is running Netware 5.1 SP1. It looks like I will need to use
Dell’s Array Manager software to accomplish the RAID expansion. Can you
provide insight as to how I should go about increasing the size if the
Netware partition to use the additional space? Once I have the space in
the Netware partition, should I be able to just go into NWCONFIG and add
it onto an existing volume (traditional volume)? Thank you.

When you expand an array by adding drives you get an additional "Logical
Drive". This means that netware now sees two drives. On the second drive
you then can add a Netware partition, and in Nwconfig expand your volumes.
