Has anyone experienced issues with disk's becoming unconverted?
I have 2 disks that have done this and i am not sure what to do. any suggestions?
Also it appears the disk names have changed as well!

Thanks

When you say "unconverted", do you mean that these volumes are no longer manageable in SANmp Admin, or visible in SANmp Client?

Have you made any changes to your SAN workstations or to your SAN topology recently?

Please contact SNS Support at support@studionetworksolutionsDOTcom for additional assistance.

the 2 disks in question are not available in the client, and in the admin the convert disk option is available for these disks. From my knowledge
there has been no modifications to the workstations or topology.
I will send an email to support.
thanks

Mystery solved...
Someone on the network should not have been using their disk utility!
arrgh... can you say re-digitize!

can someone use disk utility and format/alter a drive regardless of their permissions upon it? does disk access at that level undermine/supersede the permissions granted via sanmp admin?

YES! in the OSX disk Utility any user can format any drive.

Is there any way to prevent this?
