You can use the Modify Drive Group Wizard in MSM to change the configuration of a
virtual drive by adding drives to the virtual drive, removing drives from it, or changing
its RAID level.
CAUTION: Be sure to back up the data on the virtual drive before you change its
configuration.
NOTE: You cannot change the configuration of a RAID 10, or RAID 50, or RAID 60 virtual
drive. You cannot change a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration if two or
more virtual drives are defined on a single drive group. (The Logical view tab shows
which drive groups and drives are used by each virtual drive.)
