Unmirror

Dell OpenManage™ Storage Management User's Guide

Use the Unmirror task to separate mirrored data and restore one half of the mirror to free space. Unmirroring a RAID 1 or RAID 1-concatenated virtual disk results in a single, non-redundant concatenated virtual disk. Unmirroring a RAID 10 virtual disk results in a single, non-redundant RAID 0 (striped) virtual disk. 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, or CERC SATA1.5/2s controller.

To Unmirror:

Click Unmirror. 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.

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