AHCI and RAID on HP Compaq Elite 8000, 8100, 8200, and 8300 Business PCs - Technical White Paper

RAID migrations using Intel Rapid Storage Console

Migration to RAID 1 from two non-RAID hard drives

NOTE: HP Elite 8000-series Business PC products only support RAID based on two identical SATA hard drives in either

RAID 0 or RAID 1 or Matrix RAID Mode of RAID 0 and RAID 1.

At least 6 MB of free space at the end of the drive is required to migrate from a non-RAID to RAID configuration or an

error will occur.

1. Open the Intel Rapid Storage Console and select Create in the top pane and select the Volume Type in the right

pane. Select Real-time data protection (RAID 1).

2. Click Next to configure the volume.

3. In the Configure window, name the volume, select the two disks, and specify if you want to keep data from one of

the selected disks.

4. Click Next to begin the confirmation process and start the Create Volume action.

5. Click Create Volume to confirm you understand the Volume Creation warning and you want to continue the action.

6. Click OK after the action completes.
