7.6. Partition and Format
When you create a RAID Volume on Network Storage, the RAID Volume is
automatically partitioned and formatted for you.
To use your RAID Volume, you must create Folders on the RAID Volume and
assign services to those Folders according to your requirements. Network Storage
provides file services for Windows, UNIX/Linux and Macintosh, so all of those PCs
can access the folders on the Network Storage, even though each PC might have a
different file system.
7.7. RAID Volume Migration
Migration is the process of:
Changing the RAID level
Adding disk drives but keeping the same RAID level
In the migration process, the existing RAID Volume is called the Source. The
proposed RAID Volume is called the Target. Each target RAID Volume has certain
requirements and they are different for each RAID level. You must meet all of the
requirements in order to successfully migrate a RAID Volume.
In most cases, you must add one or more disk drives during the migration process.
You can never reduce the number of disk drives.
While the migration is running, you can still access the folders on your RAID
Volume and the data they contain.
The tables below shows the migration options for a source RAID Volume according
to its RAID level. The available target RAID levels are shown with their
requirements.
