more volume sets. The volume sets associated with this RAID set
appear for you to have chance to modify RAID level or stripe size.
Follow the instruction presented in the “Modify Volume Set ” to
modify the volume sets; operation system specific utilities may be
required to expand operating system partitions.
Note:
1. Once the “Expand Raid Set” process has started, user can
not stop it. The process must be completed.
2. If a disk drive fails during RAID set expansion and a hot
spare is available, an auto rebuild operation will occur after
the RAID set expansion completes.
3. RAID 30/50/60 does not support the "Expand Raid set".
4. RAID set expansion is a quite critical process, we strongly
recommend customer backup data before expand. Unex-
pected accident may cause serious data corruption.

slots without needing power down the controller.
