270 upgrade from mirror to RAID with 2763 ctrl

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello midrange-fellows,

let's get back to business now, I did not intend to start a long
politicakl discussion, I was just stunned yesterday evening about
the "tone" from abroad in concern to good old europe ....

I have a problem with a 270 to solve right now (this evening).

Customer setup the machine himself and now wants me to upgrade
some disks. He got mirrored disks (4x 8GB) which it want to
put in a RAID-5 together with 4x 8GB new disk to build an 8 disk-set.

Problem:
System configuration shows a 2763 controller (RAID-capable)
in the expansion tower which has no disks attached to it.
The other disks are in the main system unit and are mirrored at the
moment. These are connected to the (integrated?) MFIOP.

Is it possible to move the RAID-controller to the main unit to
achieve what I described above ? (8 disks in a RAID)

Do I have to uninstall the other controller first ?
(I' m not there at the moment)



Regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
