Capacity Extension
Logical drive extension allows you to increase the size of existing logical
drives without disturbing the data on those logical drives. If an existing logical
drive is full of data, you can extend the logical drive when there is free space
on the array. If there is no free space on the array, you can add drives to the
array and proceed to extend the logical drive.
IMPORTANT: Logical drive extension is not supported by all operating systems. You can
only extend logical drives that are used with an operating system supporting capacity
extension.
Operating Systems
The following operating systems support logical drive extension:
■ Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
■ Novell NetWare 5.0
■ IBM OS/2 Warp 4.0, WarpConnect, WarpServer, WarpServer
(Advanced), and WarpServer SMP
■ SCO OpenServer 5, UnixWare 7, and UnixWare 2
If your operating system is not listed, check your operating system
documentation or contact your operating system vendor before extending
logical drives.
