To Disable Virtual Sizing
NOTE Clearing a previous configuration does not reset the virtual
sizing setting for a logical drive. Use the Reset to Factory
Defaults option in HP NetRAID Express Tools to disable
virtual sizing for all logical drives, or manually change the
setting as described below.
The factory default is that virtual sizing is disabled. If virtual sizing has been
enabled, disable it as follows:
1. Restart the host HP NetServer, and watch for the message:
Option: Experienced users may press <Ctrl> <M> for
HP NetRAID Express Tools now.
