Changing RAID Protection Types
You can change the RAID protection of existing Storage Pools. Before you can change RAID data
protection of a Storage Pool, you must delete all data on the Storage Pool. If you are unfamiliar with
RAID protection, it is recommended that you do not change this setting. You can also set the RAID
protection type when you add drives to your Iomega StorCenter and create new Storage Pools.
To change the RAID type, expand the Information section of a Storage Pool on the Drive Management
page, and choose a value from the Protection drop-down menu:
 Mirror Stripe (RAID 10)
 Parity (RAID 5)
For additional explanation on these RAID types, refer to Adding a Storage Pool.
Note that the displayed available capacity changes as you select different RAID types from the
Protection drop-down menu. RAID array capacity is based on drive use, which differs for some RAID
types.
Click Apply to change the RAID protection.
Click Cancel to retain your previous RAID configuration.
