DuraStor 412R/6320SS/7320SS Installation and User's Guide Upgrading DuraStor You may need to change your storage subsystem from one drive configuration to another or add another RAID controller to expand your storage subsystem capabilities and capacity. The DuraStor RAID controllers features drive roaming. Drive roaming allows RAID controllers to keep track of which disk drive belongs to which logical array if the enclosure is changed or the disk drive is moved. To change to a new drive configuration, follow the set up instructions for that configuration as provided in Configuring DuraStor on page 2-8 or Appendix C. To change operating modes, follow the cabling instructions provided in Cabling Your Storage System to the Host on page 2-15. Note: Changing operating mode topologies may alter your configuration choices. Ensure that you select a configuration that is supported by the operating mode topology. Refer to Operating Modes Overview on page A-2 for more information. Note: During an upgrade, you are not required to move disk drives around in the enclosure(s). The Drive Roaming feature will locate those drives when the entire system is powered back up. 2-26
