Question on Raid 4 vs. Raid DP. We just upgraded to Ontap 6.5.1 and the new feature of Raid DP is now present. Our existing volumes created on Ontap 6.4.2 are setup as Raid 4. Is there any "easy" conversion process to change the old Raid 4 volumes to the newer Raid DP config? Any benefits? Advice? Best practices?
