Features
Further data protection can be achieved by assigning an online spare to any
RAID 1, RAID 4, or RAID 5 configuration. See Appendix D for more
information on these fault-tolerance methods. See Chapter 5 for information on
configuring your system for one of the fault tolerance methods.

Capacity Expansion

Capacity Expansion refers to the ability to change an existing data storage
configuration. This change usually involves adding drives to provide more
storage space.
Using the Array Configuration Utility, changing your storage configuration is
easy, even in fault-tolerant configurations, without requiring a data backup
and restore cycle. If you are using Microsoft Windows NT or Novell NetWare
operating systems with hot-pluggable drives, storage expansion can also be
performed online, without shutting down the server operating system. For
more information on storage expansion, see Appendix D, "Understanding
Drive Arrays."

Drive Movement

An array of drives can be moved from one system to another as long as the
relative order of the drives is maintained. For more information, see Chapter
2.
