When you change the RAID level of an existing pool, stored data is migrated across existing and new disk drives. This table lists supported migrations: From RAID Level To RAID Level Simple Volume RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 5 RAID 1 RAID 5 or RAID 10 RAID 5 or RAID 10 RAID 10 or RAID 6 You can also migrate from RAID 1 or RAID 5 to RAID 0. If the pool has a spare drive associated with it, the RAID 0 pool retains the spare drive. Note Migrations that do not involve a change in RAID level are also supported in RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6. See "Adding Capacity to a Pool" on page 96 for more information.

The wizard opens to the Choose RAID Level window. 3 Select a new RAID level. (Only supported RAID levels are listed.) 4 Click Next. The Modify Pool window opens. 5 If prompted, select additional disk drives to support the new RAID level. 6 Click Next, then review the pool settings. 7 Click Apply, then click Yes to change the pool's RAID level. The RAID level is changed. Moving a Pool to Another iSCSI Storage Appliance You can move an existing pool to another iSCSI Storage Appliance, if required. When you move a pool, you transfer its RAID data and transfer its disk drives to the new appliance.
