Working with mirrored arrays
Among the advanced tasks possible with the ACU GUI, you can split a mirrored array and then
recombine it. This process entails breaking a RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 mirror into two identical new arrays
consisting of RAID 0 logical drives.
Support for these procedures requires the following:
•
The ACU GUI must be run in offline mode ("
Configuring a server using ACU located on the
SmartStart CD
" on page
26
).
•
Select controller models must have a valid SAAP license ("
About SAAP
" on page
8
).
•
Mirrored arrays being split can have RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 configurations. Arrays with other RAID
configurations cannot be split.
Several reasons exist for splitting and recombining a mirrored array. For more information, see the "
RAID
1(+0): breaking mirrors and rebuilding drives
" how-to white paper on the HP website
