4.8.6 Increase logical drive capacity

The logical drive size can be expanded to a larger size when the array of the
logical drive has free space. When no space is left in the array the size of the
array or the RAID level of the array can be modified. Prerequisite for this
functionality is firmware release 6.21. See 4.8.7, "Expand or migrate arrays" on
page 155 for more details about increasing the space of an array.
To expand the size of an logical drive follow the steps below:
1. Use the context menu or the Action menu to increase the logical drive
capacity. The following dialogs allow you to increase the capacity of the
selected logical drive only. By using the Create logical drive button the next
dialog has also the option to increase logical drive capacity. This option allows
to modify all logical drives and into only one. The next steps use the Create
logical drive button to start the expansion of the logical drive. The figure
shows the current size of 10GB of the logical drive WOLGA-BOOT.
