contained in other active volumes, but the partitions do not need to be migrated. The operating system
must be stored on the boot disk and loaded using NT Boot Loader (NTLDR).

Volumes on dynamic disks are migrated to partitions on basic disks. Volumes that span multiple dynamic
disks (including spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID 5 volumes) are migrated to a single contiguous
partition. Volumes stored on a common source disk must also be stored on a common destination disk.
You can resize only NTFS partitions.

The Computed Destination Server Disk Requirement section lists the disks required on the destination
server to support migrated volumes. Insight Control server migration updates the Size, Minimum
Destination Size

, and Maximum Destination Size values in the lower table dynamically as volumes

in the upper table are selected or cleared for migration. A message appears under the table, indicating
the number of logical units that you must create on the destination server. The entry in the Minimum
Destination Size

column is estimated, based on reducing eligible volumes to their minimum size during

migration. Additional space might be required to accommodate disk geometry differences. Verify the
destination server disks are prepared to support the selected partitions.
