3.3.5 Reconfiguring a Volume
After you create a volume, you can reconfigure its composition, stripe width and depth
(if appropriate), number of drives, volume size, and access to iSCSI initiators. When you
reconfigure a volume, a Reconfigure tab between the Extents and Security tabs in the
Detail Tabs lets you view information about the volume being reconfigured (see section
3.4.3).
To reconfigure a volume:
1. In the Volume View, click a volume in the Main Display.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
On the Volumes menu, click Reconfigure Volume.
–
Click Reconfigure Volume Access in the Volume Actions panel.
–
Press the right mouse button and click Reconfigure Volume from the shortcut
–
menu.
Any of these steps displays the Volume Composition screen of the Create Volume
Wizard (see Figure 3-26).

After the volume is grown, the size of the file system that resides on the
volume may also need to be increased. For more information, refer to your
host operating system documentation (for example, Windows Disk
Management).
The volume keeps its original composition until it is reconfigured. After it is
reconfigured, the Reconfigure tab is removed from the Detail Tabs and the
volume icon in the Volume View changes, if necessary, to indicate the
volume's new composition.
