Dear managers,
Due to capacity limitation, I need to break my RAID5 into JBOD. I have RAID
Array 200 Subsystem on my Alpha 4100 running Digital Unix 4.0D. I have 2 XCR
controllers, one has 3 RAID 5 on it which consists 5x4.3G, 5x4.3G and 7X4.3G
disks accordingly; the other has 5 RAID5 which consists of 4X9G, 4X9G, 4X9G,
3X9G and 3X9G disks.
If I want to break those RAID5, my questions are:
1. Do I need to configure the JBODS from the scratch, or is there any short cut
that I could just turn RAID 5 into JBODs?
2. How long will the whole precudure take?

Thanks in advance for your help. Will summarize.
