Modifying Arrays
On controllers that support this feature, Modify allows you to
make the following changes to existing arrays:
■
Migrate an array from one RAID level to another
■
Expand the capacity of an array
■
Change the stripe size
Some operating systems, for example Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, support Online Capacity Expansion (OCE). That is,
on completion of an array expansion, the additional capacity can be
used without rebooting the system. Refer to your operating system
documentation for instructions on using the additional capacity.
The following rules apply to migration:
1
The capacity of the new array must match or exceed the
capacity of the current array.
2
If the capacity and/or RAID type of the new array requires
greater total drive capacity than the current array, the additional
capacity must be on drives that are not already used in the
current array.
