Merging a Physical Drive

A physical drive is logically split when its capacity is divided between two
assignments, such as two different logical drives. When the logical drives are
deleted, the split remains. The action of merging a physical drive reunites the two
portions of a split drive back into a single physical drive.

The Merge function is not available when either or both portions of the physical
drive are assigned to a logical drive. The physical drive is identified by the port
number to which it is attached.

To merge a physical drive:
1.

Click Physical Drive View in Tree View.

2.

Click the Merge tab in Management View.

3.

Check the box to the left of the physical drive you want to merge.

4.

Click the Submit button.

Click Physical Drive View again to see the results of your merge operation.
