Note: In Manual Configuration, Add Logical Drive and Expand
Array function very similarly to what was shown above. In
each of these two cases, however, RAID Assist shows you
the disk arrays and logical drives and allows you to add to
the configuration without risking existing data.
4.6 Adding a Logical Drive on MegaRAID and Mylex
Controllers
Adding a logical drive utilizes available space in an existing array or
allows for creation of a new array using unconfigured disk drives while
normal reads and writes occur. Existing data will not be affected by this
procedure.
To expand a logical drive, follow these steps:
1. Select Administration->RAID Assist on the menu bar or the RAID
Assist icon (see Figure 4.7).
2. Click the Manual Configuration button.
3. Click Add Logical Drive, the Manual Configuration Logical Drives tab
will open.
