3.4.0 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 6: Configure Dynamic Volumes 72

NOTE: The new dynamic volume is unstriped. It is not possible to add

striping to a converted dynamic volume. If you want to use

striping, you will need to recreate the volume.

To convert a basic volume, select the associated PSFS filesystem on the

Filesystems tab of the PolyServe Management Console, right-click, and

select Convert to Dynamic Volume. A warning then appears, stating that

Matrix Server must unmount the filesystem, which will close any open

files. Also, any unsaved information will be lost. When you click Yes to

continue with the conversion, the following dialog appears.

NOTE: The filesystem is unmounted after you click OK or Apply on the

dialog.

To convert a basic volume to a dynamic volume from the command line,

use the following command:

mx dynvolume convert <filesystem>
