Expand a virtual volume using the concatenation method:
● The ll clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes command displays the available virtual volumes, and whether the
volumes are expandable.
● The ll clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes/volume-name command displays that the concatenation method
must be used to expand the target volume.
● The ll /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/extents command displays available extents.
● The virtual-volume expand --virtual-volume virtual-volume --extent extent command adds the specified
extent to the specified virtual volume:
