Issue:
Online Volume Growth (OVG) in clusters is not supported using t he HP StorageWorks Online
Volume Growth application
Description
The HP StorageWorks OVG application only supports single-head HP
StorageWorks NAS or ProLiant Storage Server systems; clusters are not supported.
If OVG was used to create a LUN on an EVA5000 and the storage server is later
configured in a cluster, additional storage cannot be expanded for the LUN
using the OVG application.
Workaround
To expa
nd the storage on the EVA LUN in a clustered environment, first ensure
that W
indows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is installed on the storage server.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1 contains important fi xes for the Diskpart
utility. The preferred method for installing SP1 is by using the latest HP ProLiant
Storage Server Service Release (SR5.6 or later). Run Command View EVA on the
stor
age server to increase the size of a presented EVA LUN. Run the Microsoft
Disk
part tool to add the additional space to the volume.
