RocketRAID 2210 Driver and Software Installation

4.

The OCE/ORLM window will appear.

5.

The interface is very similar to the Array Creation Wizard interface. Select the

type of array you wish to change the existing array into, then set any corre-

sponding parameters (cache/ initialization options, capacity, if relevant).

Notes:

1.

When expanding a JBOD array, all the original disks must be included in the

target array, and these disks must be selected in the same order (as the

original array). If you want to migrate a JBOD array to another RAID level,

only the first member disk can be included in the target array. To perform

OCE/ORLM on an array .For example, a JBOD comprised of 3 disks (1, 2, 3),

can only be “migrated” using disk 1. Disks 2 and 3 cannot be used – disk 1

would have to be combined with other disks attached to the RocketRAID

2210 (disk4).

2.

You cannot change an array to another type of array with a smaller capacity.

In some cases, a disk may need to be added to the RocketRAID 2210.

3.

During the OCE/ORLM procedure, the redundancy level of the array will be

the lowest of the source and target arrays; e.g. if you ORLM a RAID 0 array

to a RAID1 array, the array will be non-redundant until the procedure is

complete.

4.

The OCE/ORLM process can be aborted and continued at later time.

However, you should always stop the transform progress from the RAID

Management software.

5.

An unexpected system crash may result in data loss while performing OCE/

ORLM on an array.

8 - Misc. Array/Device Options

Device Management

The Device Management window provides configuration information about control-

lers (the RocketRAID 2210 and other HighPoint host adapters), channels and hard

disks.

To access the Device Management window, highlight the “Management” menu, and

select the “Device Management” function.
