Just FYI ...

As for moving the OS from one RAID set to another RAID set
(larger drives), I ended up using Ghost 6.5 Enterprize to
diskcopy (clone) the first RAID set (smaller drives) to
the second RAID set (bigger drives). Then I just set the
boot device to the second set (drive). It worked like a
charm.
