Using the NVIDIA MediaShield RAID Management Utility

Migrating from RAID 0 to RAID 0+1

The following example shows you how to convert from a RAID 0 array with two disks to
a four disk RAID 0+1 array.

1 Go to 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 Striped Array” on page 47

to create a two-disk striped array.

When that is done, you should see a screen shot similar to the following:

Figure 3.67 RAID Array Created

Now that a two-disk striped array has been created, you can use the MediaShield
convert feature to migrate the array from a two-disk RAID 0 into a four-disk RAID 0+1
array.
