Capacity Expansion Capacity expansion involves adding storage capacity to an array that has already been configured. If an existing array is nearly full of data, you can expand the capacity without disturbing the existing data. The Smart Array 5i capacity expansion feature allows new physical drives to be added to the array. 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 no free space is available 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. 8-22 HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server User Guide
