Migrating to an image mode VDisk–Select MDisk group

Use the Select MDisk Group panel in the Migrate to an Image Mode Virtual Disk (VDisk) wizard to specify the managed disk (MDisk) that will contain the MDisk you selected earlier in the wizard and the VDisk that you are migrating.

The following attributes are displayed in the table:

Select

Degraded
Indicates that the MDisk group is available, but one or more MDisks are missing from the group because they are either offline or excluded.
Offline

MDisk Count
Displays the number of MDisks that are assigned to this group.
VDisk Count
Displays the number of virtual disk (VDisk) copies that have been created from this group.
Capacity
