4.3.6 Physical Drive Roaming

Physical drive roaming allows the user to move drives to any port on the RAID controller without

losing the configuration.

4.3.7 Virtual Drive Roaming

Virtual drive roaming allows the user to move a virtual drive from one controller to another

system/controller without losing the configuration or data. All virtual drives attached to the RAID

controller must be moved as a unit.

4.3.8 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, care must be taken to use the configuration on

the drives or all data may be lost.

4.3.9 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.

4.3.10 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.
