Customer has 14 drives, protected using mirroring.

If he turns off mirroring, and then turns on Raid, (assuming he has correct 
controller), how does this work?

Really my question is not how to turn on Raid, but is the system usable while 
the drives are "Raiding"?  Do they just show
unprotected while the raid set is being built?  Or is this part of IPL and we 
have to wait.

Thanks.
