====== 3ware RAID-Controller ======


===== Raid-Volumes-vergrößern =====

Optional: Falls man einen RAID-Controller mit Migration-Funktion hat, kann dieser ohne Datenverlust neue Platten einbinden und damit die Kapazität erhöhen (hier z.B. Beispiel 3Ware:
  sudo /usr/local/3ware/AMCC/CLI/tw_cli
  /c10/u0 migrate type=raid5 disk=3 autoverify

Das dauert bei den 3ware-Controllern allerdings SEHR LANGE (Tage).

===== Firmware-update =====
