Virtual Disk Task: Reconfigure (Step 1 of 3)
Does my controller
support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Reconfigure task enables you to change the virtual disk configuration. Using this task, you can change the RAID level and increase the virtual disk size by adding physical disks. On some controllers, you can also remove physical disks.
Before continuing with the virtual disk reconfiguration, you should be familiar with the information in Starting And Target RAID Levels For Virtual Disk Reconfiguration And Capacity Expansion and Choosing RAID Levels And Concatenation.
NOTE: You cannot reconfigure
a virtual disk on a controller that is operating in cluster mode.
NOTE: You can create
no more than 64 virtual disks on a controller. After you have reached
this limit, you can no longer reconfigure any of the virtual disks
on the controller. But, for IR and PERC H200 controllers, you can
create only two virtual disks.
NOTE: On systems running
the Linux operating system, if you reconfigure the same controller
on which the operating system resides, you may experience extremely
slow system performance until the reconfiguration is complete.
NOTE: You may want
to review Virtual Disk Considerations
For Controllers. This section contains considerations that
also apply to reconfiguring a virtual disk on these controllers.
