Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide

Make the extended space of the logical drive available for use by your

operating system by one of the following methods:

■

Create a new partition in the extended space of the logical drive by

using the operating system partitioning software.

■

Increase the size of existing partitions in the extended logical drive by

using the operating system partitioning software or using third-party

partitioning tools.

Use the Online RAID Level or Stripe Size Migration screen to:

■ Reconfigure a currently configured logical drive to a new fault tolerance

(RAID) level

■ Change an existing logical drive’s stripe size to a new stripe size

Both can be done online without causing any data loss.

migration or online stripe size migration:

1. Access the Online RAID Level or Stripe Size Migration screen.

2. Choose a RAID level.

3. Choose a stripe size.

4. Click Done.

To migrate to a different RAID level or stripe size:

2. Select the Drive menu.
