If you wish you can buy Secure Manager (with licences for different storage capacities), the same for Business Copy.<BR />VA can work either in RAID 0/1 mode or in AutoRAID mode. Migration from RAID 0/1 to AutoRAID is allowed online, although to go back array reformat required.<BR />These two modes are VA firmware features and they're for free. You can choose whatever mode you want. You can change these modes with CommandView ('armmgr -C' from command line). I believe you can do it from VFP also.<BR />Look at man pages for arm commands for more information, or connect to VFP and issue 'help' command (or 'vfphelp', depending on VA firmware - remember: latest is HP18)<BR />Eugeny Wed, 21 May 2003 18:43:12 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/va7100-configuration/m-p/2979169#M8503 Eugeny Brychkov 2003-05-21T18:43:12Z
