Replacing physical drives in a disk group

If you have a disk group built with one or more physical drives that are not the same size, or you simply want to upgrade the disk group with new, larger drives, you can replace the physical drives in the disk group.

Attention: During the rebuild operation, if another physical drive fails, there is the risk of losing data.

  1. In the disk group object, click (optimal physical drive).

  2. Set the drive state to failed.

  3. Replace the physical drive in the %SERVER% or enclosure with a larger physical drive.

  4. Wait for the rebuild to complete.

  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you have replaced all the smaller physical drives in the disk group.
