Information
Cause
The migrated unit is now ready to be used.
Migration changes can include:
• Expanding capacity of a unit by adding drives
• Changing RAID levels, for example, from RAID 1 to RAID 5.

operating system of the change. See “Informing the Operating System of
Changed Configuration” on page 119.
