Growing a Virtual Disk Volume
The following procedure explains how to grow a virtual disk volume when
using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) interface. This procedure
assumes that there is adequate space available in the pool. If space is not
available, see the previous section on adding additional storage units to the
pool.
NOTE: Drive volume growth must not be performed at the same time as other major drive
management operations.
To grow a virtual disk volume:
1. From the TaskSmart N2400 console, click Microsoft Management
Console.
2. Click Disk System, and then click Snapshot Manager.
3. Select the desired pool.
4. Right-click the virtual disk that you want to grow, and then select All
Tasks.
5. Select Grow Volume.
6. The welcome screen of the Grow Volume Wizard is displayed. Click
Next to start the wizard.
7. In the Virtual Disk Information dialog box, confirm that the specified
virtual disk is the one that you want to grow. If not, click Back and
repeat step 4 to select the correct virtual disk, or click Next to proceed.
NOTE: Online volume growth operates only on virtual disks formatted with New
Technology File System (NTFS). If the file system is not NTFS, the wizard presents an
error message and instructs you to cancel.
8. In the Set New Volume Size dialog box, specify the amount by which
you want the virtual disk to increase. The Megabytes available field
shows available pool space.
