Split Mirror

Dell OpenManage™ Storage Management User's Guide

Use the Split Mirror task to separate mirrored data originally configured as a RAID 1, RAID 1-concatenated, or RAID 10 virtual disk. Splitting a RAID 1 or RAID 1-concatenated mirror creates two concatenated non-redundant virtual disks. Splitting a RAID 10 mirror creates two RAID 0 (striped) non-redundant virtual disks. Data is not lost during this operation.

Note: This operation is not supported when using a dynamic virtual disk with a PERC 2, PERC 2/Si, PERC 3/Si, PERC 3/Di, CERC SATA1.5/6ch, and CERC SATA1.5/2s controller.

To Split a Mirror:

Click Split Mirror. If you want to exit without splitting the mirror, click Go Back To Virtual Disk Page.

Caution: Your virtual disk will no longer be redundant after performing a Split Mirror operation.

To locate this task in Storage Management:

1. Expand the Storage tree object to display the controller objects.
   
   
2. Expand a controller object.
