Note that once you create your logical drive, you cannot change the size of the
sectors. Nor can you increase the number of address blocks that the OS
recognizes.
You can direct WebPAM PROe to expand a logical drive beyond the maximum
expansion size. When the expansion is finished:
•
WebPAM PROe will show the logical drive in the desired size.
•
Your operating system might show the logical drive at the maximum size
listed in the table below.
•
Additional capacity might appear as unpartitioned and unformatted.
At this point, you have the choice of:
•
Format the unpartitioned/unformatted capacity as a
second
logical drive
•
Delete the existing disk array and create a new one in the desired size
Delete and Recreate
If you require a logical drive larger than the maximum expansion size:
1.
Backup the data from the current logical drive.
2.
Delete the current logical drive.
See page 99 (WebPAM PROe) or page 143 (CLU).
3.
Create a new logical drive with the desired capacity.
See page 98 (WebPAM PROe) or page 142 (CLU).
4.
Restore the data to the new logical drive.
Media Patrol
Media Patrol is a routine maintenance procedure that checks the magnetic media
on each disk drive. Media Patrol checks all physical drives assigned to disk
arrays. Media Patrol does not check unconfigured drives.
Media Patrol will also check spare drives, if those drives have Media Patrol
enabled. Media Patrol for spare drives is enabled by default. You can disable it in
VTrak’s Command Line Interface (CLI).
