Expanding a RAID
To expand a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, follow the steps below:
1.
Replace one of the hard drives in the RAID volume and allow it to
automatically rebuild.
2.
Once rebuilt, you can continue to replace any remaining disks in the RAID
array.
3.
When you are done replacing hard drives, log on to Web Management.
Navigate to Storage > RAID to open the RAID List screen.
4.
On the RAID List screen, select the RAID volume by clicking on its radio
button, and click RAID Config to open the RAID Configuration screen.
5.
On the RAID Configuration screen, click Expand.
Migrating a RAID
Once a RAID volume has been created,
you may want to move it to other
physical drives or change the RAID
array all together. To migrate a RAID
0, RAID 1, or RAID 5 volume, follow
the steps below:
1.
From the RAID Configuration
screen, click Migrate RAID.
2.
A list of possible RAID
migration configurations will be
listed. Select the desired
migration scheme and click OK.
3.
The system will begin migrating the RAID volume.
Below is a table listing of possible RAID migration schemes:
