Removing a Physical Drive from a Virtual Disk
You can use MegaRAID Storage Manager to remove a physical disk drive from a virtual disk. In order to do this, you must be logged on to the server in All Access mode.
Be sure to back up the data on the virtual disk before you change its capacity.
- Select a controller icon and start the Reconstruction Wizard, as described in the previous section.
- Click Remove Drive.
- In the top panel, select the disk drives that you want to remove from the virtual disk and click the down-arrow button to remove them.
- When you are finished removing disk drives, click Next to continue.
- When the next screen appears, select a new RAID level from the drop-down menu, if desired. Review the displayed information for the virtual disk.
- If everything is acceptable, click Finish to accept the new configuration.
A Reconstruct operation begins on the virtual disk. You can monitor the progress of the reconstruction in the Group Show Progress window. To do this, select Group Operations -> Show Progress.
