Note:
Hot spare drives need to have the same or larger
storage capacity than the RAID 1, RAID 5 or RAID 10
drives.
Changing an existing configuration
1 Back up any disk arrays that contain data that you want to retain
before the configuration change.
2 Create new disk arrays following the instructions in the Deter-
mining your configuration, Creating a disk array and Delet-
ing a disk array
sections. You may need to delete existing
arrays to free up disks first.
3 Boot, partition and format any new disk arrays or free disks.
4 When you are finished configuring, restore from backup any
data saved from previous disk arrays
Modifying a disk array
To modify an existing array you must first delete it then recreate it
with the new drives. As with all disk array operations, there is no
way to modify an existing array without overwriting data on the
drives involved.
Deleting a disk array
To delete an array (see Figure 15) first select the array by navigat-
ing to it and hitting
Enter . An asterisk in the left most column indi-
cates the array is selected.
