Changing RAID Level
CAUTION
Be sure you backup all data before changing RAID levels.
You can change RAID levels of an existing system drive without degrading the RAID
subsystem. For example, you can convert a degraded RAID 1, RAID 3, or RAID 5 logical
drive to an Optimal RAID 0 logical drive. After you select the degraded logical drive to be
optimized, the software reconstructs the RAID subsystem without halting the system.
NOTE
You can also convert a RAID 3 logical drive to a RAID 5 logical drive or vice versa. But you
cannot change between RAID levels 10, 30, and 50.
The following table lists the RAID levels you can initiate. Remember that this is a time-
consuming operation.
