Not sure about Brocade, but Juniper JunOS is quite a bit different, the hierarchy and structure is different enough that there’s a bit of a learning curve. However, if you really understand what’s happening in IOS (or RouterOS, etc.), or routing in general, you should be able to port the

with RAID 5 you have drive redundancy, but with RAID 6 it distributes the data to rebuild your array across the volume in such a way where you can lose two whole hard drives (but not three) and still rebuild. With larger drives you have higher likelihood that you’d have your failed drive, but

Old RAID controllers are notorious for misbehaving and giving false readings on drive/volume health. Additionally, the older the controller, the harder it is to find good shelf spares with matching model/firmware, etc. that will be happy reading your RAID volume(s) in the event of a controller
