PERC4/DC : Convert single-disk RAID0 to dual-disk RAID1 andpreserve data?

[vincent at cojot.name]

Hello Patrick and others,

And without OMSA (from the PERC4e/DC BIOS)?

[...snip....]
srvadmin-deng: not supported on this system (sysid=0169)
[...snip....]

Any ideas on how to do this from the HBA BIOS?

Thanks,

Vincent

Thanks in advance...
