Virtual Volume expansion can take some time and once started, cannot be cancelled.
Some operations such as upgrades and data migrations will not be possible during the
expansion. In some cases hosts and their applications may need to be restarted once
the expansion has completed. Do you wish to proceed ? (Yes/No) yes
The expansion of virtual-volume 'Test_volume' has started.

Expand a virtual volume using the concatenation method:
● The ll clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes command displays the available virtual volumes, and whether the
volumes are expandable.
● The ll clusters/cluster-1/virtual-volumes/volume-name command displays that the concatenation method
must be used to expand the target volume.
● The ll /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/extents command displays available extents.
