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 6.0 support capacity extension. Also, not all operating systems
allow extension to be carried out while the system is online (refer to Chapter 7 for
details).
