240 Virtual Disks
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: On Linux, an Unmirror cannot be performed on a mounted virtual disk.
To Unmirror:
Click Unmirror. To exit without unmirroring, click Go Back To Virtual Disk
Page.
CAUTION: Your virtual disk is longer redundant.
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 Unmirror from the Available Tasks drop-down menu.
5 Click Execute.

Assign and Unassign Dedicated Hot Spare
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features .
A dedicated hot spare is an unused backup disk that is assigned to a single
virtual disk. When a physical disk in the virtual disk fails, the hot spare is
activated to replace the failed physical disk without interrupting the system or
requiring your intervention.
For more information on hot spares including size requirements, see
Protecting Your Virtual Disk with a Hot Spare . For considerations regarding
RAID 10 and RAID 50 virtual disks created using the controller BIOS, see
Dedicated Hot Spare Considerations .
