Removing a Mirror From a Volume


Caution    Removing a mirror can result in loss of data redundancy.

The Mirror Remove procedure removes a mirror from its volume. This procedure breaks the link between the mirror and its volume and returns the mirror disk space to the free space pool for reuse. You can remove an extra mirror from a volume to make the underlying disk space available for use elsewhere. However, this may leave the volume unmirrored and unprotected against disk failure.

 
   To remove a mirror from a volume

  1. Select the volume that contains the mirror to be removed.
  2. Choose Actions > Mirror > Remove.
  3. Complete the Remove Mirror dialog box as follows:
