SCSI Setup 5-9 Capacity Extension Logical drive extension allows you to increase the size of existing logical drives without disturbing the data on those logical drives. If an existing logical drive is full of data, you can extend the logical drive when there is free space on the array. If there is no free space on the array, you can add drives to the array and proceed to extend the logical drive. IMPORTANT: Logical drive extension is not supported by all operating systems. Only extend logical drives that are used with an operating system that supports extension. Extending Logical Drives - Operating Systems The following operating systems support logical drive extension: s Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 s NetWare 5.0 s OS/2 WarpConnect s OS/2 WarpServer s OS/2 WarpServer (Advanced) s OS/2 WarpServer SMP s OS/2 Warp 4.0 s SCO OpenServer 5 s SCO UnixWare 7 s SCO UnixWare 2 If your operating system is not listed, check your operating system documentation or contact your operating system vendor before extending logical drives.

Capacity Extension
Logical drive extension allows you to increase the size of existing logical
drives without disturbing the data on those logical drives. If an existing logical
drive is full of data, you can extend the logical drive when there is free space
on the array. If there is no free space on the array, you can add drives to the
array and proceed to extend the logical drive.
IMPORTANT:
Logical drive extension is not supported by all operating systems. Only
extend logical drives that are used with an operating system that supports extension.
