SolutionThis is why it's essential to do a full backup of your data before performing migrations.

Re: RAID Migration
i preffer that you do a full backup before doing the migration and not in the same time.
not only the loss of performance that you should take in consideration but also a pwer failure will cause loss of data and backup.

Re: RAID Migration
what you need is a full backup before the migration to cover yourself. and if not you can take the risk.
after the migration why you need a backup directly. you can schedule a backup as it was before.
4 days is better than lose everything.

Re: RAID Migration
I expect that it will continue the migration process. A 5300 is a high end, battery-backed controller, and the migration is done by the controller, not the OS. During array rebuilds (ie replacing failed drives and getting rebuilds done) I have rebooted servers without any problems at all.
Yes, you should do a backup, but you need to be doing backups anyway.
How many disks are in this raid 0 set? Two? Or more? You need a minimum of three disks for a raid5 volume.
If you have any spare hardware (like disks), you can check this by running up a system with a 0+1 volume, and test the conversion. If you had enough disks, you could remove one of the mirrors, replacing the disks with spares and that would give you an instant backup.
