1-4 Features Further data protection can be achieved by assigning an online spare to any RAID 1, RAID 4, or RAID 5 configuration. See Appendix D for more information on these fault-tolerance methods. See Chapter 5 for information on configuring your system for one of the fault tolerance methods. Capacity Expansion Capacity Expansion refers to the ability to change an existing data storage configuration. This change usually involves adding drives to provide more storage space. Using the Array Configuration Utility, changing your storage configuration is easy, even in fault-tolerant configurations, without requiring a data backup and restore cycle. If you are using Microsoft Windows NT or Novell NetWare operating systems with hot-pluggable drives, storage expansion can also be performed online, without shutting down the server operating system. For more information on storage expansion, see Appendix D, "Understanding Drive Arrays." Drive Movement An array of drives can be moved from one system to another as long as the relative order of the drives is maintained. For more information, see Chapter 2.
