Expanding Storage
You can add free space to an Xsan volume without interrupting users or applications
that rely on the volume for access to files. There are two ways to add storage to a
volume:
• Add Xserve RAID systems (new LUNs) to existing storage pools
• Add new storage pools to volumes
The first method requires you to unmount and remount the volume on clients. The
second method lets you add space without users noticing any change other than the
availability of more space in the volumes they use.
You can also add new volumes to a SAN at any time.
For information on expanding Xsan storage, see the Xsan Administrator’s Guide.
