To expand the capacity of a disk volume:

!

CAUTION

Do not turn off power to the NAS during this process.

STEP 1

Choose 

Disk Management > RAID Management

 from the Navigation menu. The 

RAID Management

 window opens.

STEP  2

Click on the volume that you want to expand.

STEP  3

Click 

Expand Capacity

. The 

Expand capacity

 window opens.

STEP  4

On the drive that you want to expand capacity, click 

Change

.

Migrate

This action enables a drive configuration to be migrated to 

a different RAID configuration. Migrate is supported for the 

following drive configurations: Migrate single drive to RAID 

1, 5, or 6, Migrate RAID 1 to RAID 5 or 6, Migrate RAID 5 to 

RAID 6.

Configure spare 

drive

This action allows you to add or remove a RAID 5 spare 

drive.

Start BITMAP/Stop 

BITMAP

Bitmap improves the time for rebuilding after a crash, or 

removing/re-adding a device. It does not improve normal 

read/write performance, and might even cause a small 

degradation in performance. However, if an array has a 

bitmap a device can be removed and re-added and only 

blocks changes need to be made since the removal (as 

recorded in the bitmap) can be resynced. Bitmap support 

is only available for RAID 1, 5, and 6.

Recover

This action can recover a failed RAID disk volume from 

“Inactive” status to the normal state (RAID 1, 5, and 6 will 

be recovered to the degrade mode, RAID 0 and JBOD will 

be recovered to the normal state). Before recovering the 

failed disk volume, confirm that all hard disks of the disk 

volume are properly seated in the NAS drive bay. Once 

recovery is completed, back up your disk data 

immediately in case the disk volume fails again. Not all 

inactive RAID disk volumes can be recovered.
