OK, I will be upgrading an HP DL360 G6 server with an HP512MB P-Series BBWC (Part# 462967-B21).

The server already had the 8 SAS drive ports installed, but came with zero memory in the array controller.

Currently has two arrays(four drives) & two logical drives; which is apparently the limit when there is no memory in the array controller. (C- two 72GB 15K drives / D- two 300GB 10K drives)

Need to add an additional array. (two 600GB 10K drives)

My question is whether or not when upgrading the array controller from "zero memory" to the 512MB BBWC option; will it effect arrays & logical drives that already exist? In other words will it wipe out currently configured settings?

This is a production Exchange server, so you can imagine I would hate to wreck the server.

I'm hoping someone else out there has already crossed this bridge. Thanks for reading my post!
