CAUTION: After the migration occurs, ensure that all of the physical disks have been migrated and are present
in the appropriate virtual disks.
Expanding virtual disk capacity
The capacity of a virtual disk can be expanded online by using the Online Capacity Expansion/Reconfigure (OCE/Reconfigure).
OCE/Reconfigure is a process that allows you to add storage capacity to an existing virtual disk. In most cases additional
storage capacity can be added without taking the system offline.
NOTE: If an additional physical disk is required and the system does not support hot-swapping, the system must be turned
off.
OCE/Reconfigure enables you to increase the total storage capacity of a virtual disk by integrating unused storage with the
virtual disk.
Data can be accessed while the physical disks are added (if a system has hot-swap capability) and while data on the virtual disk
is being redistributed.
For volume, RAID 1, and RAID 10, OCE/Reconfigure expands the virtual disk by using the available space of the physical disks,
which have been members of the virtual disk. For RAID 0 and RAID 5, additional capacity can be attained by adding physical
disks to the virtual disk.
