System Management for Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition 5-13 Adding a Drive to Increase Storage Capacity It is foreseeable that during the life of your ProLiant CL1850 you will need to expand the capacity of your storage system. The following steps describe how to add a drive to the system and to allocate it to Cluster Server. NOTE: You cannot increase the capacity of an existing logical drive in the shared storage array. 1. Physically add the drives to the system. 2. Run the CR3500 Configuration Utility to configure the drives. 3. Run Windows NT Disk Administrator from server node 1 to assign a drive letter to the newly created RAID volume. 4. While still running Disk Administrator, format the drives using NTFS. 5. Cluster Server requires a reboot of each server node following the addition of a drive. Shut down both servers and reboot them. 6. Following the reboot, start Cluster Administrator and verify all newly added drive volumes appear to the cluster as available disk resources.

Adding a Drive to Increase Storage Capacity
It is foreseeable that during the life of your ProLiant CL1850 you will need to
expand the capacity of your storage system. The following steps describe how
to add a drive to the system and to allocate it to Cluster Server.
NOTE:
You cannot increase the capacity of an existing logical drive in the shared storage
array.
1.
Physically add the drives to the system.
2.
Run the CR3500 Configuration Utility to configure the drives.
3.
Run Windows NT Disk Administrator from server node 1 to assign a
drive letter to the newly created RAID volume.
4.
While still running Disk Administrator, format the drives using NTFS.
5.
Cluster Server requires a reboot of each server node following the
addition of a drive. Shut down both servers and reboot them.
6.
Following the reboot, start Cluster Administrator and verify all newly
added drive volumes appear to the cluster as available disk resources.
