3.7.2.3 Expand Raid Set
Instead of deleting a RAID set and recreating it with additional
disk drives, the “Expand Raid Set” function allows the users to
add disk drives to the RAID set that have already been created.
To expand a RAID set:
Select the “Expand Raid Set” option. If there is an available
disk, then the “Select SATA Drives For Raid Set Expansion”
screen appears.
Select the target RAID set by clicking on the appropriate radio
button. Select the target disk by clicking on the appropriate
check box.
Press the Yes key to start the expansion on the RAID set.
The new additional capacity can be utilized by one or more
volume sets. The volume sets associated with this RAID set
appear for you to have chance to modify RAID level or stripe
size. Follow the instruction presented in the “Modify Volume Set
” to modify the volume sets; operation system specific utilities
may be required to expand operating system partitions.
Note:
1. Once the “Expand Raid Set” process has started, user
can not stop it. The process must be completed.
2. If a disk drive fails during raid set expansion and a hot
spare is available, an auto rebuild operation will occur after
the RAID set expansion completes.
3. RAID 30/50/60 doesn't support the "Expand Raid Set".
