Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S Software User’s Guide

Table 1-1 lists the RAID type migrations supported by Adaptec

Storage Manager.

Table 1-1 Supported Array Migrations

See Chapter 3, Adaptec Storage Manager-Browser Edition, for

instructions on modifying arrays.

Some operating systems, for example Windows XP, Windows

2000, Windows NT and Novell Netware, support Online Capacity

Expansion (OCE). That is, on completion of an array expansion, the

additional capacity can be used without rebooting the system.

Refer to your operating system documentation for instructions on

using the additional capacity.

Drive Enclosures

Adaptec RAID controllers support drive enclosures that include

either SES or SAF-TE enclosure management hardware.

Hot Spares

A hot spare is a drive that is reserved to replace a failing drive in a

redundant array. In the event of drive failure, the hot spare will

replace the failing drive and the array will be rebuilt.

Adaptec RAID controllers support two types of hot spares:

■ Global—protects every array that the drive has enough

available capacity to protect.

■ Dedicated—protects only the array that it has been assigned to

protect.

Current Array Type New Array Type

RAID-0 RAID-5 or 10

RAID-1 RAID-0 or 5 or 10

RAID-5 RAID-0 or 10

RAID-10 RAID-0 or 5

RAID-50 RAID-0 or 5 or 10
