Expansion - Accusys ExaSAN User Manual

Expansion adds spare disks or new hard drives to an existing array. This is no need to create a
new array or stop an array; you may add new disks online while the array is in use. Expansion
can enlarge the capacity and frequency of an array. Although you may still access the array
while doing Expansion, its performance is affected considerably. You may check the progress of
Expansion in the main view.
Example:
Note
The new hard drive must larger than existing drives of array.
Follow the steps below to select an array to expand.
1. Select the array to add additional drives to, and select the number of drives to be added. A
"+" sign appears above the drives to be added.
2. Check the Confirm box and click Expand Array.
