Using the NVIDIA MediaShield RAID Management Utility
Migrating from RAID 0+1 to RAID 0+1
The following example shows you how to convert from a RAID 0+1 array with four disks
to a RAID 0+1 array with six disks.
Note: To migrate from a RAID 0+1 array with four disks to a RAID 0+1 array with six
disks, you must have at least six hard drives in the system. In this example, the
system has six free RAID enabled disks.
1 Goto the system BIOS and make sure that the drives that you want to use are RAID
enabled.
2 Boot to Windows, launch the MediaShield application, then follow the steps outlined in
“Creating a Stripe Mirroring Array” on page 54 to create a four-disk mirrored stripe
array. When that is done, you should see a screen shot similar to the following:
Figure 3.94 RAID Array Created
Now that a four-disk stripe mirror array has been created, you can use the MediaShield
convert feature to migrate the array from a four-disk RAID 0+1 into an six-disk RAID
0+1 array.
