Hi,
Have a need to convert a RAID-0 - two drives to RAID-5 four drives.
IBM serverRAID-5i

Can that be achieved through the RAID utility without loss of data?


Thanks

I'm not familiar with that controller. However, you should be able to go from R0 to R5 by:

Installing the extra drives -> expanding the logical drive -> migrating the array.

You should not lose any data.

Many Thanks!
Suspected it is so, but was looking for confirmation...
