The RAID controller also supports the following advanced array configuration and management
capabilities:
• Online capacity expansion to add space to an existing drive or a new drive
• No reboot necessary after expansion
• Online RAID level migration, including drive migration, roaming and load balancing
• Media scan
• User-specified rebuild rates (specifying the percentage of system resources to use from 0
percent to 100 percent)
• Nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) of 32 KB for storing RAID system
configuration information; the MegaRAID SAS firmware is stored in flash ROM for easy
upgrade.
