Chapter 9: Managing Logical Drives and Hot Spares ● 87 To schedule the changes for later, click Schedule, set the date and time, then click Apply. (For more information, see page 124.) Extending a Partition on a Logical Drive (Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 only) If you have expanded a logical drive, you can extend the partition on that logical drive to use the newly added space. Refer to your operating system instructions for more information. Changing the RAID Level of a Logical Drive As your requirements change, you can change the RAID level of your logical devices to suit your needs. You may want to do this to add redundancy to protect your data, or improve data availability for speedier access to your data. See Understanding RAID on page 163 for more information. Changing the RAID level normally requires one or more disk drives to be added to or removed from the logical drive. Adaptec Storage Manager won't allow you to continue unless you have the right number of disk drives available. To change the RAID level of a logical drive: 1 In the Enterprise View, click the controller associated with the logical drive. 2 In the Logical Devices View, click the logical drive. 3 In the menu bar, select Actions, then click Expand or change logical device (see page 85). A wizard opens to help you change the RAID level.
