7 - OCE/ORLM

The RocketRAID 2322 supports both OCE (Online Capacity Expansion), and ORLM
(Online RAID Level Migration.

The RAID software provides support for these features through a single function,
known as OCE/ORLM.

With the OCE/ORLM function, you can transform an array from one RAID level to
another RAID level and/or resize the array dynamically, even under I/O load.

To perform OCE/ORLM on an array:

1.

Highlight the “Management” menu, and select the “Array Management”
function.

2.

Highlight the array you want to alter.

3.

Click the

button on the toolbar or select “OCE/ORLM” command from

the “Operation” menu.

4.

The OCE/ORLM window will appear.

5.

The interface is very similar to the Array Creation Wizard interface. Select the
type of array you wish to change the existing array into, then set any corre-
sponding parameters (cache/ initialization options, capacity, if relevant).
