136 Configuration: Disk Groups and Virtual Disks
Changing the RAID Level of a Disk Group
Use the Change
RAID Level option to change the RAID level on a selected
disk group. Using this option changes the RAID levels of every virtual disk
that comprises the disk group. Performance may be slightly affected during
the operation.
Keep these guidelines in mind when you change the RAID level of a disk group:
• You cannot cancel this operation after it begins.
• The disk group must be in
Optimal
status before you can perform
this operation.
• Your data remains available during this operation.
• If you do not have enough capacity in the disk group to convert to the new
RAID level, an error message is displayed, and the operation does not
continue. If you have unassigned physical disks, use the
Disk Group
Add Free Capacity
(Physical Disks) option to add additional capacity to
the disk group. Then retry the operation.
