When I add then new ones to the cluster, will it let me change to network RAID-5?<BR /><BR />I appreciate all input.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR /><BR />Mike Tue, 09 Nov 2010 22:21:21 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/storevirtual-storage/convert-to-network-raid-5-from-raid-0/m-p/4711377#M1782 Mike J Herrera 2010-11-09T22:21:21Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/storevirtual-storage/convert-to-network-raid-5-from-raid-0/m-p/4711378#M1783 Network RAID level can be changed dynamically on the fly, and can be configured on a per-volume basis.<BR /><BR />HARDWARE RAID level is a per storage node setting (although it usually doesn't make sense to have different hardware RAID levels within a particular cluster) requires a re-stripe of the cluster.<BR /><BR />You CAN change the storage node hardware RAID level, but only if ALL volumes are not Network RAID-0, and they would need to be removed from the cluster (one node at a time), reconfigured, re-added to the cluster, then the cluster gets re-striped, then you could move on to the next node.
