To convert a Microsoft Disk Management disk group to an SFW dynamic disk group

1. In the tree view, right-click the Microsoft Disk Management disk group and select the command Convert to SFW Dynamic Disk Group from the context menu.
2. The Convert to SFW Dynamic Disk Group confirmation box appears.

   Review the steps of the procedure and click Yes to begin the conversion.

3. Restart the server.
4. When the server completes the restart, launch SFW and import the converted disk group.

   Note:

   You must specify to clear the host id for the import operation.

   Note:

   The default name of the disk group may not be user-friendly. You can change the name of the disk group in the dialog box of the import command.

5. Upgrade the imported disk group, if appropriate.

   The imported disk group is a Microsoft Disk Management compatible disk group managed by SFW. If advanced disk group features are needed, upgrade the disk group version with the Upgrade Dynamic Disk Group Version command.
