12.Reboot the system after the migration finishes. NOTE: Back up all data before proceeding.

13.After the first RAID volume has been created, create the second RAID volume by opening the Intel Rapid Storage Console, clicking View > Advanced Mode, and then clicking Actions/Create RAID Volume from Existing Hard Drive.

14.Click Next.

15.Use the same values you entered in the previous RAID volume confirmation and type the RAID Volume Name, select the RAID Level (for three hard drive RAID 0 or RAID 5 only), and select the Strip Size.

NOTE: HP currently supports only the default Strip Size (in this case 128KB).

16.Click Next to see the selection of hard drives that will be part of this RAID volume.

17.Because this is the second volume for this set of hard drives, select the existing name in the Available box (Array 0000), and then click the right arrow to move this array into the Selected box.

18.Click Next. The Specify Volume Size screen is grayed out because the second volume of this Matrix RAID Mode takes the remaining space. After the selection of all hard drive members of this RAID volume, follow the volume size selection screen.

NOTE: The first array volume creation is the place for adjusting the size; the second volume will take any remaining space.

19.While creating the second RAID volume, click Next to open the completion window.

20.Select Finish to start the migration process, which can take a few hours. The following screen appears.

You can see the state of the Matrix RAID Mode created by opening the Intel Rapid Storage Console and clicking View > Advanced Mode.
