Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide container reconfigure To change the configuration of an array, use the container reconfigure command. The container reconfigure command allows you to perform the following operations: ■ Transform an array from one type to another type You can transform an array from one type to another type. For example, you can transform a stripe set into a RAID-5 set. In this case, the stripe set changes to a RAID-5 set and remains the same size. You specify the appropriate switches that the container reconfigure command provides to transform an array. ■ Add more SCSI drives to an array You can add more SCSI drives to an array by specifying one or more SCSI devices. This action extends the array. The command uses the freespace(s) from the SCSI device(s) you specify to reconfigure the array. For example, you can extend a stripe set by specifying one or more SCSI devices. In this case, the stripe set grows, but remains a stripe set. ■ Change an array's stripe size You can change an array's stripe size by specifying the appropriate switch with a valid stripe size. For example, you can change the stripe size of a stripe set from 16K to 32K. ■ Change an array's partition size You can change an array's partition size by specifying the appropriate switch with a valid partition size. For example, you can change the partition size of a mirror set from 500 MB to 800 MB. 5-76
