Figure 15 Expanding a LUN (Smart Array only)

NOTE:

The Expand Array task is listed only if there is an unassigned physical drive on the controller. The

unassigned drive must also have a capacity of no less than that of a drive in an existing array. If these

conditions are not fulﬁlled,installatleastonesuitabledriveonthecontroller,andthenclickRefresh.

Adding storage scenarios (Smart Array storage arrays only):

• Add an unassigned physical disk to the array.

• Add a new disk to the appropriate storage device.

For more information, use the ACU online Help, or the procedures to “Expand Array” in the Array

Conﬁguration Utility User Guide.

Expand logical d rive

This option in the ACU increases the storage capacity of a logical drive by ad ding unused space on an

array to the logical drive on the same array. The unused space is obtained either by expanding an array

or by deleting another logical drive on the same array.

Adding storage scenarios (Smart Array storage arrays only):

• Extend an existing storage LUN where space is available in the array.

• Extend an existing storage LU N where space is not available in the a rray (Smart Array only).

For more information, use the ACU online Help, or the procedures to “Extend logical drive” in the

Array Conﬁguration Utility User Guide.

Extending storage using Windows Storage Utilities

Volume extension grows the storage space of a logical drive. During this process, the administrator adds

new storage space to a n existing logical drive on the same array, usually after the array has been

expanded. An administrator may have gained this new storage space by either expansion or by deleting
