Operation 53
3.7 Reconstruction Feature
The reconstruction feature allows you to increase in the capacity of an existing array and/or change
its RAID level.
IMPORTANT:
Execution of reconstruction
It is recommended that the partitions on a logical drive are
always backed up before the addition of the capacity of
the array so that proper measures can be taken at the
occurrence of an unexpected event.
Any reconstruction cannot be cancelled after it is started.
NOTE: The reconstruction feature is only available only
under the following condition:
Only a single logical drive should be configured in the array
(the reconstruction feature is unavailable if more than one
logical drive are configured in the array).
