Reconfiguring tiers
Reconfigure tiers if you have added a disk or if the tiers are configured incorrectly.
IMPORTANT: If the StoreVirtual VSA is in a management group, reconfiguring tiers causes the
store to restart. If any volumes are configured with Network RAID-0, a message opens warning
that those volumes will go offline and you should log off before continuing.
1. Using the CMC, navigate to the RAID Setup tab of the StoreVirtual VSA.
2. Click RAID Setup Tasks and select Reconfigure Tiers.
3. Ensure the proper tier is selected for each device. Tier 0 is the fastest tier.
Identify each device by the target number. See Figure 9 (page 27).
4. Click OK when you have the proper selections.

Monitoring RAID status
RAID is critical to the operation of the storage system. If RAID has not been configured, the storage
system cannot be used. Monitor the RAID status of a storage system to ensure that it remains normal.
If the RAID status changes, a CMC event is generated. For more information about events and
event notification, see Alarms and events overview” (page 85).
Data reads and writes and RAID status
A RAID status of Normal, Rebuild, or Degraded all allow data reads and writes. The only time
data cannot be written to and read from the storage system is if the RAID status shows Off.
Data redundancy and RAID status
In a RAID 1+0 or RAID 5 configuration, when RAID is degraded, there is no full data redundancy.
Therefore, data is at additional risk if there is a disk failure when RAID is degraded.
In RAID 6, when RAID is degraded due to a single drive failure, the data is still not at risk for a
second failure. However, if it is degraded due to the failure of two drives, then data would be at
risk if another drive failed.
CAUTION: In a degraded RAID 1+0 configuration, loss of a second disk within a pair results in
data loss. In a degraded RAID 5 configuration, loss of a second disk results in data loss. In a
degraded RAID 6 configuration, the loss of three drives results in data loss.
Note that Network RAID 10 configured in the cluster prevents data loss in such situations.
