Expansion
Expansion adds spare disks or new hard drives to an existing array. This is no need to
create a new array or stop an array; you may add new disks online while the array is in
use. Expansion can enlarge the capacity and frequency of an array. Although you may
still access the array while doing Expansion, its performance is affected considerably.
You may check the progress of Expansion in the main view.
Example:
Note
The new hard drive must larger than existing drives of array.
Follow the steps below to select an array to expand.
1.
Select the array to add additional drives to, and select the number of drives to be
added. A “+” sign appears above the drives to be added.
2.
Check the
