/cx/ux migrate type=RaidType
This feature only applies to 9000 series controllers.
This command allows you to change the existing configuration of a unit with type=RaidType. You can make three types of changes:
•Increase the capacity
•Change the RAID level (with the same or increased capacity)
•Change the stripe size
The unit that results from the migration is subject to the same rules and policies that apply when creating a new unit with the /cx add command. For example, a valid number of disks and parameters must be specified.
The unit to be migrated must be in a normal state (not degraded, initializing, or rebuilding) before starting the migration.
The destination unit must use all source disks and potentially augment the number of disks in the
A special case of this command is when the source unit has a type of RAID1 and destination unit has a type of single. In this case, the migrate command splits both drives into two identical single disks. The disk name will be duplicated on the destination units, but the source unit serial number will not be carried over to the new unit. The new destination unit will have its own serial number.
type=RaidType specifies the RAID type of the destination unit. Possible unit types include raid0, raid1, raid5, raid6, raid10, raid50, or single.
For example, type=raid5 indicates the destination unit is
Note: You can only migrate a unit to a RAID level that has the same or more capacity as the existing one. A
