Some operating systems need to use the maximum boot size to be able to create large
boot partitions. For example, enabling the maximum boot size on a logical drive in
the Windows NT 4.0 operating system allows you to create a bootable partition with
a maximum size of 8 GB.

NOTE: Enabling the maximum boot size may decrease performance of the logical drive.

Modify Logical Drive Screen

To display this screen, click Modify in the Logical Drive box (Figure 7-8) on the
main ACU screen. This screen resembles the Create Logical Drive screen
(Figure 7-11), and lets you change the parameters of an existing logical drive while
online, without causing data loss.

Migrate RAID/Stripe Size Screen

To display this screen, click Migrate in the Logical Drive box (Figure 7-8) on the
main ACU screen. It allows you to change the stripe width (block size) or RAID
level of an existing logical drive while online, without causing data loss.
