Virtual drive migration can be done between the following RAID levels:
Table 18. Virtual drive migration table
Initial RAID level Migrated RAID level
RAID 0 RAID 0
RAID 0 RAID 1
RAID 0 RAID 5
RAID 0 RAID 6
RAID 1 RAID 0
RAID 1 RAID 5
RAID 1 RAID 6
RAID 5 RAID 0
RAID 5 RAID 5
RAID 5 RAID 6
RAID 6 RAID 0
RAID 6 RAID 5
RAID 6 RAID 6
RAID 10 RAID 10
Input example:
perccli /c0/v3 start migrate type=r5 option=add drives=134:1-3
Virtual drive consistency check commands
The PERC Command Line Tool supports the following commands for virtual drive consistency checks:
perccli /cx/vx pause cc
perccli /cx/vx resume cc
perccli /cx/vx show cc
