This replaces a drive and copies the data to the selected component.
As the amount of data and the number of drives in your system increase, you can use
RAID-level migration to change a virtual drive from one RAID level to another. You do
not have to power down or reboot the system when you make this change.
When you migrate a virtual drive to another RAID level, you can keep the same number
of drives, or you can add drives. In some cases, you have to add a certain number of
drives to migrate the virtual drive from one RAID level to another. The screen indicates
the minimum number of drives you are required to add, if so.
CAUTION: Be sure to back up the data on the virtual drive before you change the RAID
level.
Follow these steps to change the RAID level of the virtual drive with the Modify Drive
Group Wizard:
1. Click the Logical tab in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window.
2. Select a drive group in the left panel of the window.
3. Select Go To> Drive Group>Modify Drive Group on the menu bar, or right-click
the virtual drive icon to access the Modify Drive Group Wizard.
