Online RAID and Stripe Migration

Using CPQONLIN, you can modify both the RAID level and stripe size of an
existing logical drive while online. To migrate a drive, select the drive setting
option under the logical drive menu for the drive you wish to modify. Select
the new RAID level and/or stripe size from the choices presented to you. If the
new settings are valid, the migration begins when you save your changes.

Failed Drives or Interim Recovery Mode

If a drive fails and hardware fault tolerance is enabled, system operations
continue. Replace the drive as soon as possible. To recover a drive and use the
failed drive in the interim, select a logical drive and press F3 to monitor the
status of drive recovery, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-15. Logical Drive Information screen

Interim Recovery

The logical drive is operating, but a failed drive has not been replaced.
Replace the failed drive as soon as possible.

Ready for Recovery

The logical drives are queued for recovery. This status is displayed
when another logical drive is already rebuilding or expanding.
