Java Solaris Volume manager

Hi Friends,

I have to migrate my raid-1 volume to raid -5 online.

Can anyone please help me, If possible then send me the step by step commands for online migration.


Thanks in advance.

this is (afaik) not possible without a new set of disks which are in raid5 configuration. so you need the raid1 and the raid5 to copy the data.
