Merging HDD

The two portions resulting from splitting a HDD can be merged to be a single physical drive
again.
Merge the blocks in the following procedure:
1. Click [Physical Drive View] in the Tree View.
2. Click the Merge tab in the Management Window.
Put a checkmark on the [Select] checkbox of the HDD to be merged in the Physical
Drive List.
3. Click [Submit].
IMPORTANT:
If a block resulting from splitting a HDD is used as a
member of a logical drive, the block cannot be
merged.
Create a logical drive in either of the following
configurations:
– Do not split HDDs and create logical drives in
HDDs.
– Split HDDs and create each of logical drives in an
identical HDD having the same RAID level and
capacity.
If logical drives are created in any configuration other
than above, the rebuild process may not be done at the
occurrence of a fault in a logical drive. Accordingly,
always create logical drives in either of the above
configurations.
