Upon completion, there will appear a confirming notification. The
capacity of the added drive will appear as an unused partition.
The added capacity will be automatically included, meaning that
you do not have to "expand logical drive" later. Map the added
capacity to another host ID/LUN to make use of it.
As diagrammed above, in "View and Edit Host LUN," the original
capacity is 9999MB, its host LUN mapping remains unchanged and
the added capacity appears as the second partition.
IMPORTANT!
•
Expansion by adding drives can not be canceled once started. If power failure
occurs, the expansion will be paused and the controller will NOT restart the
expansion when power comes back on. Resumption of the RAID expansion
must be performed manually.
•
If a member drive of the logical drive fails during RAID expansion, the
expansion will be paused. The expansion will resume after logical drive
rebuild is completed.
