DL380 G3 Raid 1 config after having installed Windows 2003 Server

Hello,

A DL380 G3 has been installed with one 72GB disk containing Windows 2003 Srvr and some data. A second disk has been added and HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU) installed on Windows 2003. Array A (containing first disk with data) has been expanded. Array A contains now two disks. I've the ability to change level to Raid1+0. Does it mean "mirror" disk ? Or expanding Stripe to one Logical Volume (144Gb) ?

Thanks for answer

Regards

Philippe

Raid 1+0 refers to the HP/Compaq method of creating a 'mirror' it is actually a striped mirror set which provides a little better performance than a standard mirror but other than that is functionally the same.
