NOTE: When creating virtual disks using software RAID controllers, the information related to the physical disks linked to the virtual disk is enumerated or displayed on Storage Management after a short delay. This delay in displaying the information does not cause any functional limitation.

Replacing physical disks in RAID1 configuration About this task Perform the following steps to replace physical disks in RAID1 configuration: Steps 1 In the Virtual Disk Management window, select Virtual Disk # and press the down-arrow key until Physical Disks are highlighted. 2 Press the right-arrow key to expand the list of physical disks that are members of the virtual disk. 3 Press the down-arrow key and highlight the desired physical disk you want to replace. Press to expand the list of allowed operations on the disk. 4 Select Replace. 5 Select Start. 6 Press the down-arrow to highlight a replacement disk and then press the spacebar to select the disk. 7 Select OK to start the replacement. NOTE: The replacement disk must be a hot spare or an unconfigured disk without a foreign configuration. It must have the same or greater capacity and should be of the same type as the disk it is replacing. 86 Troubleshooting hardware issues
