4.3.9 RAID Controller Migration

The RAID controller migration feature allows a defective RAID controller to be removed and

replaced by a compatible RAID controller without losing the configuration or data. To avoid a

configuration mismatch, it is wise to reset the new controller configuration before attaching the

array drives. If a configuration mismatch occurs, then care must be taken to use the

configuration on the drives or all data may be lost.

4.3.10 Online Capacity Expansion

Online capacity expansion (OCE) allows additional drives to be added to a virtual drive in an

array. OCE is available as an option in the Intel® BIOS Console 2 utility, the Intel® RAID Web

Console 2 utility, or the command-line utility.

4.3.11 RAID-level Migration

RAID-level migration allows for the migration from one RAID level to another. RAID-level

migration may require the addition of additional physical drives as part of the process. RAID-

level migration is an option in the Intel® RAID BIOS Console 2 utility, the Intel® RAID Web

Console 2 utility, or the command-line utility.

4.4 Operating Certifications
