Expanding Your SAN Storage

Figure 7-1.

Modify Volume Settings

To enable Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 to recognize
the volume size increase, you must re-scan the disks in the Disk Management
utility and then use the DiskPart utility. For more information, see the
technical report Microsoft Windows: Expanding Basic Disk Volumes on the
EqualLogic Customer Support website at www.equallogic.com.

NOTE:

In a cluster environment, when you expand iSCSI disks, you must run the

DiskPart utility from the cluster node that is controlling the cluster. Standby cluster
nodes report iSCSI disks as Unknown and Unreadable as they do not have control
of the disk resource. However, the Standby nodes still see the volume as extended.
