Dynamic growth
Dynamic growth is a feature of the storage server that provides for growth of a volume or partition
to meet expanding storage requirements without the need to take volumes offline or incur downtime.
Growth may occur in three forms:
• Extend unallocated space from original LUNS.
• Alter LUNs to contain additional storage.
• Add new LUNS to the system. The additional space is then extended through a variety of means,
depending on which type of disk structure is in use.
Expanding a LUN
Expanding an existing LUN is accomplished using the storage array configuration software applicable to
the storage array in use. In the case of the Smart Array controller, this is accomplished via the Array
44 Disk and Volume Management

update the size of a volume that has undergone expansion. The
rescan is not synchronous and may require a browser refresh
after the scan is initiated to display the new content.
Select to open the Windows Disk Manager and perform
advanced volume management tasks.
