scenarios when Virtual Sizing has been enabled.
Without Restart
Without restarting the HP NetServer, you can only add capacity as a new volume.
You will need to add enough physical drives to create a new array and logical
drive by using HP NetRAID Config. Then under the nwconfig Standard Disk
Options, scan for new devices and configure the new logical drive as a new
NetWare volume.
With Restart
CAUTION Back up your data before you begin this procedure. You will
