RAID and Disk Management 25

Upgrading a Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk

You can only use dynamic disks for online volume extension. Hence, Dell recommends that you use the

Disk Management utility to upgrade all data disks on your system to dynamic. The upgrade includes new

disks, which have been added to the system as basic disks.

NOTE: In hardware RAID configurations, the operating system disk must remain a basic disk.

NOTE: Software RAID installed on a hardware RAID system is not supported.

To upgrade a basic disk to a dynamic disk, perform the following steps:

Right-click the disk you want to upgrade, and then click

Convert to Dynamic Disk

When the

Convert to Dynamic Disk

window appears, select the disks to upgrade and click

When the

Disks to Convert

window appears, select the disks that you want to convert to dynamic and

click

Convert

NOTE: After a disk is upgraded to a dynamic disk, it cannot be reverted to a basic disk unless all volumes on that

disk are removed. Dell strongly recommends that you do not revert a disk back to basic after data volumes are

present.

Reactivating Dynamic Disks

A dynamic disk might appear as a missing disk when it is corrupted, powered down, or disconnected. To

reactivate a dynamic disk, perform the following steps:

Right-click the disk marked

Missing

Offline dynamic disk

Click

Reactivate Disk

on the menu.

Mark the disk as online after the disk is reactivated.

Merging Foreign Disks

Dynamic disks with a foreign status are disks that were moved from another system. You cannot

reactivate a foreign disk; you must merge the disk to the system. To change the status of a foreign disk

and enable it to be seen as a part of the current system, use the Merge Foreign Disk command.

To merge foreign disks, perform the following steps:

Right-click a foreign disk, and then click

Import Foreign Disks

The

Import Foreign Disk Wizard

is displayed.

Select the foreign disks that you would like to merge to the system.

By default all foreign disks are selected to be merged.

Click

again to validate the volume status of each foreign disk.

Click

Finish
