Fix Raid 0 on TVS 871T
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2019 2:00 am
Here's the issue I'm helping a friend with - His TVS-871T was set up with 8 10tb drives in Raid 0, and currently has about 48tb of data. A couple of the drives are showing errors, but still working.
We want to migrate to an array with Raid 6 - but there is no direct conversion with these drives in place.
Our plan is to use his TX-800P, attached to the TVS-871T, load it with 8 new 10tb drives, and create a Raid 6 volume, then copy everything on the Raid 0 volume to the Raid 6 volume. Would like to then remove the Raid 0 drives, put the Raid 6 drives in the TVS-871T, and eventually use the good, original Raid 0 drives to grow the Raid 6 volume.
Any details about best way to go about this are appreciated - and any links or help are appreciated. My search didn't find a similar transition, but I may not have searched correctly. Any help is appreciated!
