RocketRAID 2322 Driver and Software Installation

only the first member disk can be included in the target array. For example, a
JBOD comprised of 3 disks (1, 2, 3), can only be “migrated” using disk 1.
Disks 2 and 3 cannot be used – disk 1 would have to be combined with other
disks attached to the RocketRAID 2322 (4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

2.

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 2322.

3.

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.

4.

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.

5.

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

To access the Device Management window, highlight the “Management” menu, and
select the “Device Management” function.

Changing Device Settings

Depending upon the hard disk in question, and support provided by the current
