HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide

Example Expand vdisk VD1 to include disk 1.11:

# expand vdisk disks 1.11 VD1

Depending on several factors, vdisk expansion can take a significant amount

of time to complete. The size of the physical disks in the original vdisk,

the amount of capacity being added, and the level of I/O activity during

expansion will influence the time of completion.

It is strongly recommended to review the Best Practices white paper before

starting a vdisk expansion. See the online help to access this white paper.
