Figure 106. Migrating a unit
You can only migrate a unit to a RAID level that will be larger than the
original unit. For example, you can migrate from a RAID 5 array with 4
drives to a RAID 0 with four drives but you cannot migrate from a RAID 5
with four drives to a RAID 10 with four drives.

reflects your changes and shows the percentage of migration completed.
While the unit is migrating, you can still access the unit as normal but the
