B) You cannot change an array to another type of array with a smaller capacity. In some

cases, a disk may need to be added to the RocketRAID card.

During the OCE/ORLM procedure, the redundancy level of the array will be the lowest

of the source and target arrays; e.g. if you ORLM a RAID0 array to a RAID1 array, the

array will be non-redundant until the procedure is complete.

C) The OCE/ORLM process can be aborted and continued at later time. However, you

should always stop the transform progress from the RAID Management software.

An unexpected system crash may result in data loss while performing OCE/ORLM on an

array. We strongly recommend backing up data before starting the OCE/ORLM process.

After the OCE/ORLM procedure has completed, reboot the system.
