CHAPTER 3
Using the NVIDIA MediaShield RAID Management Utility
Migrating from RAID 1 to RAID 0+1
The following example shows you how to convert from a RAID 1 array with two disks to
a RAID 0+1 array with four disks.
1Goto the system BIOS and make sure that the drives that you want to use are RAID
enabled.
2Boot to Windows, launch the MediaShield application, then follow the steps outlined in
“Creating a Mirrored Array” on page 51 to create a two-disk mirrored array. When that
is done, you should see a screen shot similar to the following:
Figure 3.81 RAID Array Created
Now that a two-disk mirrored array has been created, you can use the MediaShield
convert feature to migrate the array from a two-disk RAID 1 into a four-disk RAID 0+1
array.
