To Reconfigure A Virtual Disk: Step 1 of 3
1. Select the physical disks that you want to include in the virtual disk. You can expand the capacity of the virtual disk by adding
additional physical disks. On some controllers, you can also remove physical disks.
The changes you make to the physical disk selection are displayed in the Selected Physical Disks table.
NOTE: For a controller that has more than one channel, it may be possible to configure a virtual disk that is channel-
redundant.
