How Do I Add Capacity to an Existing Disk Array?
RAID EzAssist gives you the option of adding capacity to existing disk
arrays. This process is referred to as Mylex Online RAID Expansion™
(MORE™). The process allows you to increase the useable space in an array
without having to: (1) back up data, (2) reconfigure the array to a larger
number of drives, and (3) restore existing data to the new array. The extra
space is then used to create additional logical drives.
 Caution
Adding capacity is NOT allowed to any array that has
been spanned. See “How Do I Make Use of the
Spanning Feature?” on page 2-54 for additional
details.
