added, the capacity will be increased to 144GB in two separate
partitions (one is 108GB and the other 36GB).
2. Size of the New Drive:
A drive used for adding capacity should have the same or more
capacity as other drives in the array.
3. Applicable Arrays:
Expansion can only be performed on RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, and 6
logical drives. Expansion cannot be performed on logical
configurations that do not have parity, e.g., NRAID or RAID 1.
NOTE:
Expansion on RAID0 is not recommended, because the RAID0 array
has no redundancy. Interruptions during the expansion process may
cause unrecoverable data loss.
4. Interruption to the Process:
Expansion should not be canceled or interrupted once begun. A
manual restart should be conducted after the occurrence of a
power failure or interruption of any kind.
Expand Logical Drive: Re-striping
