the new RANKs.

Configure the media file system for bandwidth expansion
1. If Aurora media is present, modify
VolumeConfig.xml
.

Tools | Expand File System By Bandwidth
and answer
Yes
to confirm.
6. A dialog box opens asking if you want to restripe existing media after bandwidth expansion.
Proceed as follows:
•
Click
Yes
in most cases. This is the typical response. In any case this does no harm.
•
Click
No
only if you are sure you do not need to restripe existing media, such as in the
following cases:
•
You have very little existing media so the fact that it cannot use the new stripe group does
not impact future media operations or capacity.
•
Your existing media is to be deleted soon so you don’t care if it uses the new stripe group.
The first of a series of informational screens opens.
7. Work through the informational screens.
When prompted to retry, if you are not sure if the process started, you can retry to be sure. Doing
so does not cause problems.
The expansion process runs. A dialog box displays progress
8. Wait for the process to complete. On a large system this can take over 30 minutes.
9. A “…succeeded…” message is displayed when done. Click
OK
and Storage Utility closes.
