Volume Manager Question 1

[tikual]

Do anyone know the different of these two options in VM Menu? It seems that both of these options are used for adding disks to disk groups.

1 Add or initialize one or more disks
2 Encapsulate one or more disks

I am new in VM. Hope someone can help.

Thanks!

Hope this helps.

1 Add or initialize one or more disks - Add a new disk to the Disk Group, the initialization will wipe out any data on the disk or disks.

2 Encapsulate one or more disks - Encapsulation will keep the data/partition that is currently on the disk.
