Migrating a Logical Drive
To migrate a logical drive is to:
• Change its RAID level
• Add one or more physical drives
• Change its RAID level and add physical drives
Migration takes place on an existing Functional logical drive without disturbing
the existing data. While the logical drive is migrating, you can access the data as
before. When migration is complete, your logical drive will have a different RAID
level, a larger capacity, or both.For more information, see “Logical Drive
Migration” on page 119.
