RAID Controller Feature | Description |
|
|
Virtual disk migration | The controller supports automatic virtual disk migration |
| from a PERC S100 adapter to a PERC S300 adapter (or vice |
| versa). Manual intervention for migration is not required or |
| used by the PERC S100 adapter or |
| PERC S300 adapter. |
| CAUTION: Before starting a virtual disk migration, power- |
| down both systems before removing or inserting the physical |
| disks. After the migration occurs, make sure that all of the |
| physical disks have been migrated and are present in the |
| virtual disk. |
| CAUTION: The virtual disk is lost if you perform a virtual disk |
| migration during an OCE. |
| NOTE: The PERC S100 adapter only supports SATA HDD and |
| SATA SSD disks. SAS disks cannot be migrated with a |
| PERC S100 adapter. |
| NOTE: A bootable virtual disk cannot be migrated between |
| dissimilar controllers or dissimilar system models when the |
| system uses Microsoft Windows Server 2003 as its operating |
| system. |

Virtual disk transformation
Virtual disk transformation can consist of:
•Capacity expansion, using OCE (to allocate additional virtual disk space on the original physical disks or after additional physical disks are added).
•Rebuilding (rebuilding data on a virtual disk consists of using an available hot spare or backup physical disk).
