Array Configuration Utilities 6-15

Expanding Array Capacity—Procedure

To bypass the configuration wizard, follow these steps to expand your array:

Install the new physical drive(s).

NOTE: Always group physical drives of the same size. If you mix drive sizes, the capacity

of the larger drives is wasted.

Assign the new physical drive(s) to an existing array. Existing logical

drive(s) will automatically expand across the physical drives, including

the newly added one(s).

Create a new logical drive to use the extra space on the expanded array.

See the following example.

Expanding Array Capacity— Example

For this example, assume a configuration similar to the previous example,

except that the fourth 4.3-GB drive was added later (where Array A does not

have a spare). Expand Array A to include the fourth drive. This scenario is

represented in the following figure with a single 4.3-GB drive unassigned.

Figure 6-11. Array Expansion example – Configuration View screen

To expand the capacity of Array A and create Logical Drive 2:

1 2 ... 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 ... 161 162
