4.1.0 HP PolyServe Matrix Server administration guide (T5392-96073, October 2010)

The new dynamic volume will contain only the original subdevice; you can use the
Extend Volume option to add other subdevices to the dynamic volume.
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 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 at the Command Prompt, use the
following command:
mx dynvolume convert <filesystem>
