Hello!

We have a new DSS (Supermicro Mainboard X7DBE, Xeon Quad Core E5420, 4 GB RAM, Areca Raid Controller ARC-1261 ML 16xSATA II, ...). Now we try to change/expand the HDDs, but DSS doesn't recognize the changes without the reboot of DSS! Each time we add a HDD or expand a RAID or do other changes in RAID-Subsystem DSS needs a complete reboot to view the correct new configuration ... .

This is not feasible, because each reboot of DSS requires a shutdown/reboot of ALL servers, which are using a iSCSI drive. It's an absolutely "must have" of a storage server to be online expandable!

What's the problem? Do you also have this problem? What the solution?

Thanx!

regards,
Lukas
