NOTE: If you cancel the rebuild of a physical disk that is assigned as a hot spare, reinitiate the rebuild on the same physical disk
in order to restore the data. Canceling the rebuild of a physical disk and then assigning another physical disk as a hot spare does
not cause the newly assigned hot spare to rebuild the data. Reinitiate the rebuild on the physical disk that was the original hot
spare.
Changing The Virtual Disk Policy
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Change Policy task enables you to change the read, write, or cache policy of a virtual disk. Changes to the read, write, and cache
policy only apply to the virtual disk that you have selected. This task does not change the policy for all virtual disks on the controller.
Replacing A Member Disk
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Replace Member Disk task allows you to copy data from a physical disk, which is a member of a virtual disk, to another physical disk
by providing the Replace Member Conguration option. You can initiate multiple copies of data from dierent array groups.
Clearing Virtual Disk Bad Blocks
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Clear Virtual Disk Bad Blocks task enables you to clear bad blocks on your virtual disk. The CLI command omconfig
clearvdbadblocks is used to clear the bad blocks on the aected drives. This only clears the cached errors from the controllers by
clearing out the table of bad blocks that the PERC rmware is maintaining for virtual disks. This feature is applicable only to applicable only
to PERC H730P MX and PERC H745P MX.
Encrypting A Virtual Disk
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Encrypt Virtual Disk task encrypts an unencrypted virtual disk. This feature is only applicable to controllers that:
• Are encryption capable (PERC H730P MX and PERC H745P MX)
• Have an Encryption Key
• Have Self Encryption Drives (SEDs) virtual disks
Create Virtual Disk Express Wizard
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Create Virtual Disk Wizard allows you to select the wizard type and the RAID level. The Create Virtual Disk Express Wizard
calculates the appropriate virtual disk conguration based on the available space and controller considerations. To make your own selections
for the virtual disk conguration, select the Advanced Wizard option.
Before creating a virtual disk, you should be familiar with the information in Considerations Before Creating Virtual Disks. You may also want
to review Choosing RAID Levels And Concatenation.
NOTE
: This task is not supported on PERC hardware controllers running in HBA mode.
