You can certainly partition a hard drive in Windows without extra software, but you won't be able to do things like resize them or combine them without some extra help. If I remove the array, I now have a spare drive for a rainy day. Partition management software programs let you create, delete, shrink, expand, split, or merge partitions on your hard drives or other storage devices. This is useful information, because now I can choose to either repair the array, or remove the drives completely. If we now look at “Disk Management” within the Windows Operating System, we can cross reference this to “ Disk 0” and determine the affected disk. Increase security and reduce business risk with multiple layers of protection built into the operating system. You can see above that the degraded Virtual Disk is “Virtual Disk0” and the device name is “ Windows Disk 0“. Windows Server 2019 is the operating system that bridges on-premises environments with Azure services enabling hybrid scenarios maximizing existing investments. Out of the the three arrays, one is the Operating System Drive, and the other two are (empty) Data Drives.Īfter a bit of cross referencing, it seems that the “Target Name” within the OpenManage Console is the key to solving this riddle. However, I have three identically sized arrays and it occurred to me that there was no obvious way to to identify which one of the Windows OS Disks was affected by the failure. It is a fairly straight forward process to replace the drive and allow the array to rebuild.
Recently, I fired up an old Dell R510 server, and discovered that one of the RAID 1 arrays was degraded.
