Expanding a RAID-5 Volume

5.4 Expanding a RAID-5 Volume

RAID-5 volume expansion makes it possible to enlarge volume
capacity without rebooting the NAS system. Volume capacity

grows on the fly. Moreover, you do not have to change any
share permissions, security controls and quota settings after
volume expansion. Storage management becomes much
easier.

To expand a RAID-5 volume, please go to the

Volume Expand

page. Select a RAID-5 volume to be

expanded. Then choose the free disks as new members. Click

Apply

to submit changes. The progress of RAID expansion is

shown on the

Volume Information

page.

To expand a SmartExtend volume, please open the
administration page of the SmartExtend target system. When
the target volume is connected to the initiator, use the

Volume Expand

function to expand the target volume.
