MS-7612 Specific Migrating Requirements The following table lists the disk requirements for a new RAID array for various migrating combinations. From RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 0+1 RAID 5 To RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 0+1 RAID 5 RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 0+1 RAID 5 RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 0+1 RAID 5 RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 0+1 RAID 5 New Array Disk Requirements m > n Number of disk in the new array must be greater than the original array. m = 2, n = 1 RAID 1 array must include two disks, converted from a one disk RAID 0 array. m >= 2 x n Number of RAID 0+1 disks must be equal to or greater than twice the number of RAID 0 disks. m >= n+1 No additional restrictions. ** Not a valid combination ** No additional restrictions. m >= 3 m >= n2 Number of RAID 0 disks must be equal to or greater than half the number of RAID 0+1 disks. ** Not a valid combination ** ** Not a valid combination ** m >= (n/2 + 1) m >= n - 1 ** Not a valid combination ** m >= 2 x (n-1) ; where m is an even number of disks. m >= n Instructions Click Migrate array to start the Migrate Array Wizard and then follow instructions.

Spec±fic M±grat±ng Requ±rements
The follow±ng table l±sts the d±sk requ±rements for a new RAID array for var±ous m±grat-
±ng comb±nat±ons.
From
To
New Array D±sk Requ±rements
RAID 0
RAID 0
m > n
Number of d±sk ±n the new array must be greater than the or±g±nal array.
RAID 1
m = 2, n = 1
RAID 1 array must ±nclude two d±sks, converted from a one d±sk RAID 0 array.
RAID 0+1
m >= 2 x n
Number of RAID 0+1 d±sks must be equal to or greater than tw±ce the number
of RAID 0 d±sks.
RAID 5
m >= n+1
RAID 1
RAID 0
No add±t±onal restr±ct±ons.
RAID 1
** Not a val±d comb±nat±on **
RAID 0+1
No add±t±onal restr±ct±ons.
RAID 5
m >= 3
RAID 0+1
RAID 0
m >= n2
Number of RAID 0 d±sks must be equal to or greater than half the number of
RAID 0+1 d±sks.
RAID 1
** Not a val±d comb±nat±on **
RAID 0+1
** Not a val±d comb±nat±on **
RAID 5
m >= (n/2 + 1)
RAID 5
RAID 0
m >= n - 1
RAID 1
** Not a val±d comb±nat±on **
RAID 0+1
m >= 2 x (n-1) ; where m ±s an even number of d±sks.
RAID 5
m >= n
