Re: Change from mirror to RAID

["Al Barsa" <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the model 400, the four base drives can only have  mirrored protection.
You can add the additional drives, and raid them without a re-load.

I have a model 400 that has 4 6607 drives in it.  The drive are mirrored.
I
will be adding a 7117 expansion cabinet to it and 4 more drives (also
6607s).  The expansion cabinet will have a 6502 RAID card.  I would like to
RAID all 8 drives in the same RAID set.  Can I do it without a reload?  Is
there a way to Unmirror a drive, and effectively add them to a RAID set.
Thanks in advance.
