Example—Expanding Array Capacity

For this example, assume a configuration similar to the previous example,
except that the fourth 4.3-GB drive was added later (where Array A does not
have a spare). Expand Array A to include the fourth drive. This scenario is
represented in the following figure with a single 4.3-GB drive unassigned.

Figure 5-9. Array expansion example - Configuration View screen

To expand the capacity of Array A and create logical drive 2:

1. Select Array A.

2. Click the Expand button.

3. Select the unassigned 4.3-GB drive.

4. Click Assign Drive(s) to Array button.
