Change Drive Name
The Change Drive Name command allows you to change the name of an array drive. The name
serves to identify an array drive in StorCon or StorCon+. This can be helpful for configurations
where several host drives of various types are operated by a single controller.
Expand Array Drive
The Expand Array Drive option which is also available with StorCon+, contains three major
functions.
Function
Conversion
Migration
Expansion

NOTE
If the entire hard disk capacity is not used when configuring a RAID 1 host drive, you cannot use
the remaining capacity to expand the array drive in the future.
✏
NOTE
If StorCon is closed, migration of the RAID level may not complete.
To migrate or expand a RAID 4/5 array drive, the state must be ready. The data on the array drive
remains intact and is not affected by the expansion. The additional capacity is introduced as a new
host drive. If a logical drive fails during the expansion, the expansion process continues until the
expansion is finished and the array drive changes into the fail state.
