Expanding RAID Storage Capacity
The RocketStor 6328 Adapter supports OCE/ORLM (Online Capacity Expansion / Online RAID Level Migration).
OCE/ORLM can expand current RAID storage configurations when capacity is running short, or migrate a RAID
array to a different RAID level, without deleting existing data.
Warning: The OCE/ORLM process is irreversible. Please make sure each disk is in good health before
proceeding.
To use OCE/ORLM:
Step 1: Install the new disks and/or storage enclosure and attach it to the RocketStor 6328 using the
appropriate eSATA or Mini-SAS cable (see page 6 for more information).
Step 2: Boot Windows and start the WebGUI.
Step 3: Under the Logical tab, click Maintenance to the right of the Status column of the target array to
initiate the OCE/ORLM procedure.
