Deleting a RAID Device
When you delete a RAID device, the file system deletes all the partitions and
volumes from all physical storage devices used in the RAID configuration.
1 From ConsoleOne, open the tree you want.
2 Right-click on the server object and select Properties.
3 Click Media > Raid Devices.
4 Select the Raid device you want to delete.
5 Click Delete.
The file system displays a warning message to ensure you want to delete
the RAID device.
6 Click Yes or No.
Increasing the Size of the RAID Device
You can increase the size of a RAID device by adding more segments from
another storage device. You should not place more than one RAID segment on
a disk; this will severely impede the performance of your file system.
1 From ConsoleOne, click Media > Raid Devices.
2 Select the RAID device you want to increase.
3 Click Increase Size.
4 Select the device you want to add to the RAID configuration.
5 Click Finish.
After you add another physical storage device to your RAID device, you
must restripe the configuration. This stripes the data to the other device
you added.
NOTE: The file system performance might slow down during the restriping
process. Make sure you add all the physical storage devices you want to the RAID
device before you click Restripe.
6 Click Restripe.
The Restripe option recognizes new devices in your RAID configuration
and distributes the data across all the devices.
