Creating Host to Virtual Disk Mappings

You can create Host-to-Virtual Disk mappings to a host group or to a single
host. If you have created the mapping to a host that is part of a host group,
the mapped host alone will have access to the virtual disk.

Additional Disk Group and Virtual Disk Expansion
Information

To expand disks groups or virtual disks, you can use the MD Storage Manager
or the command line interface. It is only possible to add one disk at a time or
two in the case of RAID10 to expand the disk group.

To expand the virtual disk using the command line interface, type: set
virtualDisk [VDname] addCapacity=sizetobeadded
For more information, see the

Command Line Interface Guide at

support.dell.com/manuals.

During disk group and virtual disk expansion operations, you have complete
access to the virtual disks and disk group redundancy is maintained at all
times. The impact on the performance is minimal during the operation.
