To Reconfigure A Virtual Disk: Step 1 of 3

  1. Select the physical disks that you want to include in the virtual disk. You can expand the capacity of the virtual disk by adding additional physical disks. On some controllers, you can also remove physical disks.

    The changes you make to the physical disk selection are displayed in the Selected Physical Disks table.
    NOTE: For a controller that has more than one channel, it may be possible to configure a virtual disk that is channel-redundant.

    NOTE: For PERC H310 Adapter, PERC H310 Mini Monolithic, PERC H310 Mini Blades, PERC H700, PERC H710 Adapter, PERC H710 Mini Blades, PERC H710 Mini Monolithic, PERC H710P Adapter, PERC H710P Mini Blades, PERC H710P Mini Monolithic, PERC H800, PERC H810 Adapter, PERC H330 Adapter, PERC H330 Mini Monolithic, PERC H330 Mini Blades, PERC H330 Embedded, PERC H730 Adapter, PERC H730 Mini Monolithic, PERC H730 Mini Blades, PERC H730P Adapter, PERC H730P Mini Monolithic, PERC H730P Mini Blades, PERC H730P Slim, PERC H740P Adapter, PERC H740P Mini Monolithic, PERC H830 Adapter, PERC H840 Adapter, and PERC FD33xD/FD33xS, if the disk group has free space available, you can expand the virtual disk capacity. To expand virtual disk capacity, click Expand Capacity.
