Expanding production storage on a live HPE server — without stopping the work
A media & entertainment company, Kuala Lumpur (name withheld)
The challenge
Production storage on the company's HPE server was full — with active projects on it. Expansion had to happen around the production schedule, with zero data loss and no surprise downtime.
The solution
A planned in-place expansion: compatible enterprise drives specified and supplied, array growth sequenced and verified, with rollback points and a tested backup taken before any hardware was touched.
Implementation
Pre-work: configuration audit and full verified backup. Execution: staged drive installation and array expansion during an agreed window, health-checked at each step, handed back the same day.
The outcome
Storage capacity expanded on schedule; production never stopped; the configuration and test results were handed over as documentation.
