will be reported as Ready (not part of array).
NOTE: We strongly recommend that you do not remove and re-insert
any drive during a RAID-level migration.
- When migrating a RAID 6 to a RAID 5, the migration will fail if
the (physical) drive order on the target logical device differs
from the source; for instance, migrating a four-drive RAID 6 to
a three-drive RAID 5.
- Migrating a RAID 5 with greater than 2TB capacity to RAID 6 or
RAID 10 is not supported in this release. Doing so may crash
the system.
- When migrating from a RAID 0 to any redundant logical drive,
like RAID 5 or 10, Adaptec Storage Manager shows the status as
"Degraded Reconfiguring" for a moment, then the status changes
to "Reconfiguring." The "Degraded" status does not appear in
the event log.
- The following RAID-level migrations and online capacity
expansions (OCE) are NOT supported:
o RAID 50 to RAID 5 RLM
o RAID 60 to RAID 6 RLM
o RAID 50 to RAID 60 OCE
- During a RAID-level migration, ASM and the BIOS utility show
different RAID levels while the migration is in progress. ASM shows
the target RAID level; the BIOS utility shows the current RAID level.
- If a disk error occurs during a RAID-level migration (eg, bad blocks),
the exception is reported in the ASM event viewer (bottom pane)
and in the support archive file (Support.zip, Controller 1 logs.txt),
but not in the main ASM Event Log file, RaidEvtA.log.
- Always allow a RAID-level migration to complete before gathering
support archive information in Support.zip. Otherwise, the Support.zip
file will include incorrect partition information. Once the RLM is
complete, the partition information will be reported correctly.

6. Power Management Issues and Notes
- You must use a compatible combination of Adaptec Storage Manager
and controller firmware and driver software to use the power
management feature. All software components must support power
management. You can download the latest controller firmware
and drivers from the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com.
- Power management is not supported under FreeBSD.
- Power management settings apply only to logical drives in the
Optimal state. If you change the power settings on a Failed
logical drive, then force the drive online, the previous
settings are reinstated.
- After setting power values for a logical drive in ARCCONF, the
settings are not updated in the Adaptec Storage Manager GUI.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
7. "Call Home" Issues and Notes
- The Call Home feature is not supported in this release. To gather
statistics about your system for remote analysis, enable statistics
logging in ASM, then create a Call Home Support Archive. For more
information, see the user's guide.
