CHAPTER 3 Using the NVRAIDMAN Utility Morphing from RAID 0+1 to RAID 0+1 The following example shows you how to convert from a RAID 0+1 array with four disks to a RAID 0+1 array with six disks. Note: To Morph from a RAID 0+1 array with four disks to a RAID 0+1 array with six disks, you must have at least six hard drives in the system. In this example, the system has six free RAID enabled disks. 1 Goto the system BIOS and make sure that the drives that you want to use are RAID enabled. 2 Boot to Windows, launch the NVRAIDMAN application, then follow the steps outlined in "Creating a Stripe Mirroring Array" on page 61 to create a four-disk mirrored stripe array. When that is done, you should see a screen shot similar to the following: Figure 3.96 RAID Array Created Now that a four-disk stripe mirror array has been created, you can use the NVRAIDMAN convert feature to morph the array from a four-disk RAID 0+1 into a six-disk RAID 0+1 array.
