Re: Array configuration - modifying the RAID level
Check this link with the user guide for ACU:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00294139/c00294139.pdf
You should be able to migrate to RAID 1+0. Have you tried using the Express Configuration Wizard?
Do you have the latest ACU and latest fimrware and driver for your Controller?

Re: Array configuration - modifying the RAID level
I did not try the express configuration. I did try the wizard.

Re: Array configuration - modifying the RAID level
First make sure the second disk is identical with the first one.
You have to do it off-line with OS being shut down.
Boot with smartstart, go in Array Configuration Utility.
Now click on the new disk and create an Array B and on top of it a logical drive RAID0
You will end up having two arrays with one logical drive each. Array A is source and Array B is destination.
Now in configuration view click on "source" (Array A) and on commom task (right panel)you will find Re-Mirror Array
The next screen will warn you which disk is preserved and which is overwritten, is self-explanatory.
I used the lates ACU 7.50 but I believe earlier ACU will do it as well.
Good luck !

Re: Array configuration - modifying the RAID level
Right now, both drives are in a single drive array.
The drives are both 36.4 GB drives but one is a 10K RPM and the other is a 15K RPM. I don't see where that would prevent the mirroring (although you could not take advantage of the faster speed of the 15K drive).
If the originla array (Array A) was originally built as a RAID 0 - is it now impossible to migrate it to a mirror set? It appears that may be the case.
This is very frustrating and the documentation is of no help.

Re: Array configuration - modifying the RAID level
After that I have no options to migrate either array or drive or any option to "Re-Mirror" the array.
When I select migrate (only option to modify the array) my only choice is to stay with RAID0.
My Smart Start Version is 7.30.9.0.

Re: Array configuration - modifying the RAID level
When I create the new array the only type it will create is a parallel SCSI array. The only type of RAID it will let me select is RAID0.
Also the Logical drive for ARRAY A is split into two partitions (idiotic!) and so the Winwdows OS sees it as a C and D drive.
It appears that someone goofed when they set this up originally and it will take destroying and restoring to fix it
I can't even get Windows to mirror the drives.
Redoing these drives into a mirror set (with a third party vendor involved) is going to be a night mare. This really sucks.
