Expand a File Volume

To expand a file volume, there must be free storage space and a free
partition on a logical drive. This free space and free partition do not need
to be on the same logical drive as the file volume to be expanded—you can
create file volumes that span across logical drives. This gives you the
option of expanding existing volumes by installing another logical drive on
the system.

To expand an existing file volume:

1

Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Storage tab, then select
Logical Drives.

2

Click Actions, then select Expand File Volume.

3

Select the volume to be expanded.

4

Select a partition to use from the pull down menu.

5

Enter desired file volume size in the space provided.

6

Click OK.

A progress bar displays while the file volume is expanded.

Rename a File Volume

To rename a file volume:

1

Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Storage tab, then select
Logical Drives.

2

Click Actions, then select Rename File Volume.

3

Select the volume you want to rename.

4

Enter a new name in the text field.

5

Click OK.

Note

You can not rename file volumes that have been expanded.
