Configuration: Disk Groups and Virtual Disks

Adding free capacity to a disk group is achieved by adding unconfigured 

capacity on the array to the disk group. Data is accessible on disk groups, 

virtual disks, and physical disks throughout the entire modification operation. 

The additional free capacity can then be used to perform a virtual disk 

expansion on a standard or snapshot repository virtual disk.

To add free capacity to a disk group:

1 In the AMW, select the Logical tab.
2 Select a disk group.
3 Select Disk Group Add Free Capacity (Physical Disks).

The 

Add Free Capacity window is displayed. Based on the RAID level, and 

the enclosure loss protection of the current disk group, a list of unassigned 

physical disks appears. 

If the RAID level of the disk group is RAID Level 5, or RAID Level 6, and 

the expansion enclosure has enclosure loss protection, Display only physical disks 

that will ensure enclosure loss protection appears and is selected by default. 

4 in the Available physical disks area, select physical disks up to the allowed 

maximum number of physical disks. 

You cannot mix different media types or different interface types 

within a single disk group or virtual disk. 

5 Click Add.

A message prompts you to confirm your selection.

6 To add the capacity to the disk group, click Yes.

You can also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) on both Windows and 

Linux hosts to add free capacity to a disk group. See the CLI Guide for more 

information.
After the capacity expansion is completed, additional free capacity is available 

in the disk group for creation of new virtual disks or expansion of existing 

virtual disks.
