Can I set up RAID 1 on a running SBS 2011 server while its still running

779 Views

We have a server running with 2 same disks and I would like to enable RAID 1.

If I choose RAID 1 I can choose the 2 disks where the first disk is the current runing OS Windows SBS 2011.

I see that I can choose to keep data on the first disk.

But what will happen if I make the RAID, will the server restart and will it boot up again after the cloning.

Or will the server not be affected, because right now I need to know if it needs to be done after buisness hours or during, and if the OS is still bootable after.
