Migrating a RAID Volume
To migrate a RAID Volume means to change its RAID level or to add disk
drives. See “RAID Volume Migration” on page 105 for more information.

2. Click on the RAID Management icon.
3. Click on the Modify tab.
4. From the Current Volume dropdown menu, select the RAID Volume which
you want to modify.
5. In the Migrate to RAID Level dropdown menu, select the target RAID Level.
6. To add disk drives, highlight disk drives in the Free Disks column and click
the
>>
button to move them to the Disks in RAID column.

the

button.
The RAID Volume is modified as you directed. Migration requires several
minutes, depending on the type of modification taking place and the size of
your disk drives.
During the modification, your RAID Volume and all of the folders on it are

to use the storage space you have added. You can extend the file system
immediately or wait until later.
