Virtual Disks 239
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 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: On Linux, a Split Mirror cannot be performed on a mounted virtual disk. For
this reason, a Split Mirror cannot be performed on the boot drive.
To Split a Mirror:
Click Split Mirror. To exit without splitting the mirror, click Go Back To
Virtual Disk Page.
CAUTION: Your virtual disk is longer 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.
3 Select the Virtual Disks object.
4 Select Split Mirror from the Available Tasks drop-down menu.
5 Click Execute.
