Split Mirror

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
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 nonredundant virtual disks. Splitting a RAID 10 mirror creates two RAID 0 (striped) nonredundant virtual disks.
Data is not lost during this operation.
NOTE: The Rename task is not available for concatenated virtual disks on a CERC SATA1.5/2s controller.
NOTE: In cluster mode, the PERC 3/DC controller only allows write-through caching.
