or a VSA destroys any data stored on that storage system. For VSAs, there is no alternate RAID choice, so the only outcome for reconfiguring RAID is to wipe out all data. • Changing preconfigured RAID on a new storage system RAID must be configured on individual storage systems before they are added - HP StoreVirtual 4000 | 10.0 HP LeftHand Storage User Guide (AX696-96202, Novembe - Page 34
