Reconfiguring or migrating Virtual Disks
About this task
Reconfiguring or migrating a virtual disk enables you to increase the capacity or change the RAID level of the virtual disk.
NOTE: On software RAID controllers, if a physical disk (SATA SSD or HDD) is removed from a virtual disk and the same physical disk is reinserted (hot plug) into the virtual disk instantly, within a fraction of a second, then the virtual disk state is displayed as
Ready and the physical disk state is displayed as
Online. However, if the same physical disk is reinserted after a short delay, then the virtual disk state is displayed as
Degraded and the physical disk state is displayed as
Ready.
