I'm trying to remember if Dynamic disks are supported and I can't find anything in the docs about them or in the SSM so they should work ok. Essentailly you want to treat it like a volume group where you have all the disks that comprise that spanned volume presented/encapsulated through the VPLEX in order for Windows to bring the spanned volume back online. Once you re-present the volumes (nothing is touched on the LUNs as part of the encapsulation) Windows will be rescanned and the drives should come back online. Worse case they might come in as foreign and you can manually import them, but I am not aware of any issues as well as all of the LUNs that create the Windows drive letter are encapsulated/presented at the same time - otherwise the volume won't come online.
