5. After the expansion/migration process is complete, Disk Management should recognize the

additional capacity. You are free to create a second partition, or expand the existing partition.

Notes:

z Bootable volumes should not be expanded beyond 2TB – Windows will not recognize the

additional capacity.

z Older 32-bit versions of Windows (2000, XP) limit capacity to 2TB, unless the VSS option is used.

If the VSS option is not already enabled, do not use the OCE/ORLM function – the operating

system will not recognize the additional space. You will need to start from scratch – backup the

data on the current array and create a new array using the VSS option.

z Make sure to enable “GPT” when initializing/partitioning arrays for use with Windows 2003,

Vista, 2008 and, using the Windows Disk Management utility. This feature supports volumes over

2TB in size, and allows for future capacity upgrades.
