Configuring for RAID Using the Intel(R) Application Accelerator

If you already have one hard drive with the operating system installed on it, and you want to add a second hard drive and reconfigure both drives into a RAID volume without losing the existing operating system and any data, you need to use the migrating option (see "Migrating to a RAID 0 Volume" on page 23 or "Migrating to a RAID 1 Volume" on page 24). Create a RAID 0 Volume or RAID 1 Volume only when:

•You are adding two new drives to an existing single-drive computer (and the operating system is on the single drive), and you want to configure the two new drives into a RAID volume.

•You already have a two-hard drive computer configured into an array, but you still have some space left on the array that you want to designate as a second RAID volume.
