Chapter 2. CLI Syntax Reference /cx/ux migrate type=RaidType [disk=p:-p] [group=3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12] [stripe=Stripe] [noscan] [nocache] [autoverify] This feature only applies to 9000 series controllers. This command allows you to change the existing configuration of a unit with type=RaidType. You can make three types of changes: • Increase the capacity • Change the RAID level (with the same or increased capacity) • Change the stripe size The unit that results from the migration is subject to the same rules and policies that apply when creating a new unit with the /cx add command. For example, a valid number of disks and parameters must be specified. The unit to be migrated must be in a normal state (not degraded, initializing, or rebuilding) before starting the migration. The destination unit must use all source disks and potentially augment the number of disks in the disk=p:-p disk list. Unspecified parameters are assigned the default values (stripe size of 64K, write cache enabled, autoverify disabled, and ignoreECC disabled). Both source name and serial number will be carried over to the destination unit. A special case of this command is when the source unit has a type of RAID1 and destination unit has a type of single. In this case, the migrate command splits both drives into two identical single disks. The disk name will be duplicated on the destination units, but the source unit serial number will not be carried over to the new unit. The new destination unit will have its own serial number. type=RaidType specifies the RAID type of the destination unit. Possible unit types include raid0, raid1, raid5, raid6, raid10, raid50, or single. For example, type=raid5 indicates the destination unit is RAID-5. The type=single is a special case of the migrate command. It splits the source unit RAID-1 or TWINSTOR into multiple Single units. Note: You can only migrate a unit to a RAID level that has the same or more capacity as the existing one. A four-drive RAID 5 unit can migrate to a four-drive RAID 0, but a four-drive RAID 0 unit cannot migrate to a four-drive RAID 5, without adding another drive, due to the need for additional storage capacity for parity bits.

This feature only applies to 9000 series controllers.
This command allows you to change the existing configuration of a unit with
type=
RaidType
. You can make three types of changes:
•
Increase the capacity
•
Change the RAID level (with the same or increased capacity)
•
Change the stripe size
The unit that results from the migration is subject to the same rules and
policies that apply when creating a new unit with the
/c
x
add
command. For
example, a valid number of disks and parameters must be specified.
The unit to be migrated must be in a normal state (not degraded, initializing,
or rebuilding) before starting the migration.
The destination unit must use all source disks and potentially augment the
number of disks in the
disk=
p:-p
disk list. Unspecified parameters are
assigned the default values (stripe size of 64K, write cache enabled,
autoverify disabled, and ignoreECC disabled). Both source name and serial
number will be carried over to the destination unit.
A special case of this command is when the source unit has a type of RAID1
and destination unit has a type of single. In this case, the migrate command
splits both drives into two identical single disks. The disk name will be
duplicated on the destination units, but the source unit serial number will not
be carried over to the new unit. The new destination unit will have its own
serial number.
type=
RaidType
specifies the RAID type of the destination unit. Possible unit
types include
raid0
,
raid1
,
raid5
,
raid6
,
raid10
,
raid50
, or
single
.
For example,
type=raid5
indicates the destination unit is RAID-5. The
type=single
is a special case of the migrate command. It splits the source unit
RAID-1 or TWINSTOR into multiple Single units.
The following table illustrates valid migration paths:
Note:
You can only migrate a unit to a RAID level that has the same or more
capacity as the existing one. A four-drive RAID 5 unit can migrate to a four-drive
RAID 0, but a four-drive RAID 0 unit cannot migrate to a four-drive RAID 5, without
adding another drive, due to the need for additional storage capacity for parity bits.
