5.3.4.1   Volume Set Expansion 

 

Volume Capacity (Logical Volume Concatenation Plus Re-stripe) 

 

Use the Expand Raid Set function to expand a Raid Set when a disk is added to your 
subsystem. (Refer to Section 5.2.3) 

 

The expanded capacity can be used to enlarge the Volume Set size or create another 
Volume Set. Use the Modify Volume Set function to expand the Volume Set capacity. 
Select the Volume Set and move the cursor to the 

Volume Set Capacity 

item and enter 

the capacity size. 
 

Tick on the 

Confirm The Operation 

and click on the 

Submit 

button to complete the 

action. The Volume Set starts to expand. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: The Volume Set capacity of Raid30/50/60 cannot be 
expanded.
