Online Capacity Expansion and RAID Level Migration Rules, With OCE

Page 15 highlights

• Supports Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) to enable communication with other SAS devices. • Supports Serial Management Protocol (SMP) to communicate topology management information. • Allows addressing of multiple SATA targets through an expander if using SATA 2.0- compliant hard disk drives. • Allows multiple initiators to address a single target (in a fail-over configuration) through an expander. Online Capacity Expansion and RAID Level Migration Rules • Migration must occur to the same or larger capacity configuration. • Migration cannot occur if there is more than one virtual disk in a logical array. • Migration and OCE cannot be done on Spanned Arrays (RAID 10, 50, 60). • Migrations supported are RAID 1 to RAID 0, RAID 5 to RAID 0, RAID 6 to RAID 0. • With OCE, migrations supported are RAID 0 to RAID 1, RAID 0 to RAID 5, RAID 1 to RAID 5.

Supports Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) to enable communication with other SAS
devices.
Supports Serial Management Protocol (SMP) to communicate topology
management information.
Allows addressing of multiple SATA targets through an expander if using SATA 2.0-
compliant hard disk drives.
Allows multiple initiators to address a single target (in a fail-over configuration)
through an expander.
Online Capacity Expansion and RAID Level Migration Rules
Migration must occur to the same or larger capacity configuration.
Migration cannot occur if there is more than one virtual disk in a logical array.
Migration and OCE cannot be done on Spanned Arrays (RAID 10, 50, 60).
Migrations supported are RAID 1 to RAID 0, RAID 5 to RAID 0, RAID 6 to RAID
0.
With OCE, migrations supported are RAID 0 to RAID 1, RAID 0 to RAID 5, RAID
1 to RAID 5.
