5.5.2.3 Expand Raid Set
Instead of deleting a RAID set and recreating it with additional disk drives, the
“Expand Raid Set” function allows the users to add disk drives to the RAID set
that have already been created.
To expand a RAID set:
1. Select the “Expand Raid Set” option. If there is an available disk, then the
“Select SATA Drives for Raid Set Expansion” screen appears.
2. Select the target RAID set by clicking on the appropriate radio button. Select
the target disk by clicking on the appropriate check box.
3. Press the Yes key to start the expansion on the RAID set. The new additional
capacity can be utilized by one or more volume sets. The volume sets
associated with this RAID set appear for you to have chance to modify RAID
level or stripe size. Follow the instruction presented in the “Modify Volume
Set ”to modify the volume sets; Operation system specific utilities may be
required to expand operating system partitions.
