Migrating an Existing Logical Drive to
RAID ADG

Windows NT and Windows 2000

If you are migrating from a logical drive that is configured for RAID 0 or
RAID 5, you will need to expand the array before migrating to RAID ADG.
Check that you have the latest version of the configuration utility by visiting
the Compaq website (www.compaq.com). Download and install the newer
version if necessary. An ACU program icon will automatically be generated
on the desktop.
Expanding the Array
1. Add at least one extra hard drive to your system if migrating from
RAID 5, or two extra hard drives if migrating from RAID 0. The
capacity of each added drive should be no less than that of the smallest
hard drive currently used in the logical volume.
2. Double-click the ACU icon on the desktop.
3. Select the array to be expanded from the left-hand side of the main ACU
screen.
4. Click the Expand button.
5. Select the extra hard drives added, except any added spare.
6. Click the Assign Drive(s) to Array button.
7. Select the online spare, if added.
8. Click the Assign Spare to Array button.
9. Continue the migration when expansion has finished.
Migrating the Logical Drive
1. In the ACU, click the Migrate button in the Logical Drive section on the
right-hand side of the main ACU screen.
2. Select the RAID ADG check box on the Migrate RAID/Stripe Size
screen that is displayed.
