Abstract
A RAID level migration system and method are provided that enable RAID level migration to be performed without the use of a hardware RAID controller with NVRAM for storing the migration parameters. Eliminating the need for a hardware controller having NVRAM significantly reduces the costs associated with performing RAID level migration. The system and method are capable of migrating from any arbitrary RAID level to any other arbitrary RAID level.
