Expand the Size of a LUN
After you create a LUN, you cannot change the provision setting (thin or thick), but you
can expand the size of the LUN.
Expansion is instant, regardless of the data size, but you must first disconnect all users
that are connected to the LUN. Disconnect access to the LUN by removing the LUN
from the LUN group to which the users have access (see Create a LUN Group on page
104).
Note: On ReadyNAS 102, 104, 202, 204, 212, 214, and 2120 systems, individual LUNs
cannot exceed 8 TB.
Note: File systems inside the LUN are not expanded by this procedure. After expanding
the LUN, you can expand the file systems from the iSCSI initiator.
To expand the size of a LUN:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select iSCSI.
The screen updates showing the iSCSI LUNs and groups.
3. Select the LUN.
4. In the pop-up menu, click the Settings button.
The LUN settings display in a pop-up window.
