Reconfiguring/Migrating Virtual Disks
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
You can reconfigure or migrate a virtual disk in order to increase the disks capacity or change its RAID level.
To reconfigure a virtual disk:
1. Review the information in Starting and Target RAID Levels for Virtual Disk Reconfiguration and Capacity Expansion.
2. Locate the controller on which the virtual disk resides in the tree view. Expand the controller object until the Virtual Disks object is displayed.
3. Select the Reconfigure task from the virtual disk's drop-down menu and click Execute.
4. Complete the Reconfigure task using the Reconfigure wizard. For more information, see Virtual Disk Task: Reconfigure (Step 2 of 3).
Starting and Target RAID Levels for Virtual Disk Reconfiguration and Capacity
Expansion
After you have created a virtual disk, the possibilities for reconfiguring the virtual disk depend on the controller, RAID level, and available physical disks. The
following table describes the possible scenarios for reconfiguring a virtual disk. For more information on the RAID levels, see Choosing RAID Levels and
Concatenation.

RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 disks.
Reconfiguration from RAID 0 to RAID 6 requires at
least 2 additional disks even when this exceeds the
4-disk minimum required by RAID 6.
With or without adding additional disks
Add at least one additional disk.
