DL 380 G3 migrate raid 0 to raid 5

[gorochang]

Hello Everybody
I have a DL380 G3server with Smart Array 6i contorller, and the hard driver configuration is:
2 73GB in a RAID 0
I want to add 2 physical disks and migrate to Raid 5.Can it be done by ACU without data lost?

Thanks for you help.

Yes. You can migrate from the raid 0 to a raid 5 with the additional drives.

Thanks!
So the step is:
1.add 2 physical disks to the RAID 0
2.migrate RAID 0 to RAID 5

is this right?And in these process, the data will lost?

hi

steps are

- insert to new HDDs
- ACU will show the HDDS and ACU will have EXPAND option available
- you EXPAND RAID 0 (wait sometime like 10 min per GB)
- after that ACU will show MIGRATE option
- just proceed

bye
