Using the NVIDIA MediaShield RAID Management Utility
Migrating from RAID 1 to RAID 0+1
The following example shows you how to convert from a RAID 1 array with two disks to
a RAID 0+1 array with four 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 Mirrored Array” on page 51
to create a two-disk mirrored array. When that
is done, you should see a screen shot similar to the following:
Figure 3.81 RAID Array Created
Now that a two-disk mirrored array has been created, you can use the MediaShield
convert feature to migrate the array from a two-disk RAID 1 into a four-disk RAID 0+1
array.
