III. Disable Virtual Sizing
The only other requirement for online capacity expansion of your logical drive is
that Virtual Sizing is disabled. This is the factory default setting.
•
If Virtual Sizing is Disabled (the factory default setting), no other
preparation is necessary.
•
If Virtual Sizing is Enabled, disable Virtual Sizing in HP NetRAID
Express Tools, as described below.
To Disable Virtual Sizing
NOTE Clearing a previous configuration does not reset the Virtual
Sizing setting for a logical drive.
Using the Reset to Factory Defaults option in Express Tools
disables Virtual Sizing for all logical drives.
To enable Virtual Sizing for a logical drive, manually change
the setting.
1. Restart the host HP NetServer, and watch for the message:
Option: Experienced users may press <Ctrl> <M> for
HP NetRAID Express Tools now.
