Migrating an Existing Volume to a RAID Volume

When you purchase a computer with the RAID card installed but no solid-state drive,

the startup disk is already congured as a single-drive Enhanced JBOD RAID set. You

can convert this RAID set, along with one, two, or three other drives, to a RAID volume

using the Migrate RAID Set command. All les on the original disk are retained in the

new RAID volume. Any data on the additional drives is erased.

To migrate to a RAID volume:

1 Start up your computer using the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server installation disc that

comes with the computer.

2 When the Installer opens, choose your language and click the Next button to see the

Utilities menu at the top of the screen.

3 Choose Utilities > RAID Utility.

4 Select the existing RAID set, which supports your current startup volume, in the left

column of the RAID Utility window.

5 Click Migrate RAID Set in the toolbar or choose RAID > Migrate RAID Set.

6 Choose the type of RAID volume you want to create.

Maximum Protection: Migrates your system to a RAID volume based on either the RAID

1 or RAID 5 level, depending on the number of drives available.

Maximum Performance: Creates a volume based on the RAID 0 level.

To see the type of RAID set that will be created, look below the drive icons.

7 Choose the additional drives you want to include in the volume.
