The expansion process is illustrated in Figure D-2, where the original array
(containing data) is shown with a dashed border, and the newly added drives are
shown unshaded (containing no data). The array controller adds the new drives to the
array and redistributes the original logical drives over the enlarged array, using the
same fault-tolerance method. If the array has several logical drives, data is
redistributed one logical drive at a time.

Figure D-2: Array capacity expansion
The unused capacity on the enlarged array can now be used to create an additional
logical drive, with a different fault-tolerance setting if necessary.
Alternatively, the unused capacity can be used to increase the size of one of the
original logical drives; this process is
logical drive capacity extension
. Another
method for carrying out logical drive capacity extension is to delete an existing
logical drive and then to add the freed capacity to another logical drive.
Capacity expansion is carried out using one of the utilities described in Chapter 7.
For reconfiguration to occur online (that is, without shutting down the operating
system), the configuration utility must be running in the same environment as the
normal server applications. Also, online expansion is possible only in systems that
are using hot-pluggable drives.

Only ACU and ACU-XE support capacity extension. Also, not all operating systems
allow extension to be carried out while the system is online (see Chapter 7 for
details).
