Expanding storage using the Array Con fi guration Utility
The Array Con fi guration Utility enables online capacity expansion of the array and logical drive for
speci fi c MSA storage arrays, such as the MSA1000 and MSA1500.
Expand array
Expanding an existing LUN is accomplished using the storage array con fi guration software applicable to
the storage array in use. In case of the Smart Array controller, this is accomplished by using the Array
Con fi guration Utility. LUN expansion may occur in disk arrays where space is available. If insuf fi cient
space is available, additional physical disks may be added to the array dynamically.
IMPORTANT:
An array expansion, logical drive extension, takes about 15 minutes per gigabyte, or considerably
longer if the controller does not have a battery-backed cache. While this process is occurring, no other
expansion or extension can occur simultaneously on the same controller.
