Array changes

I have added a second drive to an array with the intent of mirroring the first drive, raid 1+0. I have set up the array incorrectly and have just a raid 0. I have left the drive unformated and unassigned in the OS, Windows 2000. Can I change this array to a 1+0 to mirror the first drive without losing data on the 1st drive?

Re: Array changes


Are these drives connecedt to a Smart Array Controller::
if so....Yes you can. Itâ s a two-step process in the ACU
· Expand the array â this is adding the unassigned drive to the array. At the end of this step you will have unused space under array A. This process will take some time
After the array expansion; migrate logical drive 1 from raid 0 to 0+1 using the unused
There’s your problem!!! This thing is set to EVIL!
