* Increases the existing redundancy
Important
• The Target disk array may require more disk drives than the
Source disk array
• If the Target disk array requires an EVEN number of disk
drives but the Source disk array has an ODD number, ADD a
disk drive as part of the migration process
• You cannot reduce the number of disk drives in your disk
array, even if the Target disk array requires fewer disk drives
than the Source disk array
• RAID 1 (mirroring) works with two drives only. Only a single-
drive RAID 0 disk array or a single-drive JBOD can migrate to
RAID 1. Other RAID Levels use too many drives to migrate
• You cannot migrate a disk array when it is Critical or
performing activities such as Synchronizing, Rebuilding, and
PDM
