Important
•
The Target array may require more disk drives than the Source array.
•
If the Target array requires an even number of disk drives but the
Source array has an odd number, add a disk drive as part of the
conversion process.
•
You cannot reduce the number of disk drives in your array, even if
the Target array requires fewer disk drives than the Source array.
Note
RAID 1 (mirroring) works with two drives only. Only a single-drive RAID 0
or single-drive JBOD array can be converted to RAID 1. Other RAID
Levels use too many drives.
You may need to add one or more drives to the array before you can perform a conversion. To add drives, see Expanding
an Array, above.
Do the following steps to convert an array:
73. Press the
SEL
button on the front panel.
