RAID Expansion (OCE/ORLM)
Important:
Before using OCE/ORLM, we recommend that you Verify the current RAID array,
using the WebGUI

Verify function, under Maintenance. The OCE/ORLM process is
irreversible; once you start an OCE/ORLM procedure, the process can be temporarily
paused (using the Maintenance option), but it must ultimately be resumed until
completion.
OCE

Online Capacity Expansion
OCE allows you to add storage capacity to an existing RAID array while preserving your

To Expand an Array:
1.
Start the WebGUI and click the

Locate the array you want to expand, and click the
