Migrate raid 1 (two disk) to raid 10 (four disk)

[RicardoFP]

Is it possible to migrate a raid 1 with two disks (1Tb each) to raid 10 with 4 disks? I have a DL380 GEN8 with Smart Array P410i and BBWC, how to do it with CLI or ACU. It is urgent. Thank you

There should be no difference in perfomaing this task with a 410 versus a 410i

NOTE: Whenever you are going to make array changes, make sure you have a valid backup of the data on the array(s)

This is the solution..... 

A)  ctrl slot=0 show config

     logicaldrive 1 (1.6 TB, RAID 0)

      physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 2:bay 1, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)   <= ORIGINAL RAID 0
      physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 2:bay 2, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)   <= ORIGINAL RAID 0
      physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 2:bay 3, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)   <= NEW DISK
      physicaldrive 1I:1:4 (port 1I:box 2:bay 4, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)   <= NEW DISK

B) controller slot=0 logicaldrive 1 add drives=1I:1:3,1I:1:4

      logicaldrive 1 (1.6 TB, RAID 0, Transforming, XX% complete)

     After 9 Hours...

C) ctrl slot=0 ld 1 modify raid=1+0

    logicaldrive 1 (1.6 TB, RAID 1+0, Transforming, XX% complete)

    after 9 hours

     logicaldrive 1 (1.6 TB, RAID 1+0)

      physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 2:bay 1, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 2:bay 2, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 2:bay 3, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:4 (port 1I:box 2:bay 4, SAS, 900.1 GB, OK)
