III. Disable Virtual Sizing
The only other requirement for online capacity expansion of your logical drive is
that Virtual Sizing is disabled. This is the factory default setting.
If Virtual Sizing is Disabled (the factory default setting), no other
preparation is necessary.
If Virtual Sizing is Enabled, disable Virtual Sizing in HP NetRAID
Express Tools, as described below.
To Disable Virtual Sizing
NOTE
Clearing a previous configuration does not reset the Virtual
Sizing setting for a logical drive.
Using the Reset to Factory Defaults option in Express Tools
disables Virtual Sizing for all logical drives.
To enable Virtual Sizing for a logical drive, manually change
the setting.
1. Restart the host HP NetServer, and watch for the message:
Option: Experienced users may press <Ctrl> <M> for
HP NetRAID Express Tools now.
