Is it possible to shrink the size of an HP Smart Array logical drive?
- by ewwhite
I know extension is quite possible using the hpacucli utility, but is there an easy way to reduce the size of an existing logical drive (not array)?
The controller is a P410i in a ProLiant DL360 G6 server. I'd like to reduce logicaldrive 1 from 72GB to 40GB.
