4. The Web GUI will notify you when the process starts. A progress bar will
be displayed under the Status column of the Manage-Array menu.
5. After the expansion/migration process is complete, Disk Management
should recognize the additional capacity. You are free to create a second
partition, or expand the existing partition.
Notes:
• Bootable volumes should not be expanded beyond 2TB – Windows
will not recognize the additional capacity.
• Older 32-bit versions of Windows (2000, XP) limit capacity to 2TB,
unless the VSS option is used. If the VSS option is not already
enabled, do not use the OCE/ORLM function – the operating system
will not recognize the additional space. You will need to start from
scratch – backup the data on the current array and create a new
array using the VSS option.
•
Make sure to enable “GPT” when initializing/partitioning arrays for
use with Windows 2003, Vista, 2008 and, using the Windows Disk
Management utility. This feature supports volumes over 2TB in
size, and allows for future capacity upgrades.
