Chapter 6: Managing Logical Drives and Hot Spares ● 77 Increasing the Capacity of a Logical Drive You can add more disk drive space to a logical drive to increase its capacity (or expand it). Note: The maximum size of a logical drive varies by controller. Refer to your controller's documentation for more information. The expanded logical drive must have a capacity that's greater than or equal to the original logical drive. To increase the capacity 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 (shown in the figure in Step 3 on page 75). A wizard opens to help you modify the logical drive. 4 Click Next. 5 Click on the disk drive(s) or disk drive segments you want to add to the logical drive. Note: Adaptec recommends that you not combine SAS and SATA disk drives within the same logical drive. Adaptec Storage Manager generates a warning if you try to create a logical drive using a combination of SAS and SATA disk drives. If you want to remove a specific disk drive or segment and replace it with another one (for instance, replace a smaller disk drive with a larger one), click on the disk drive you want to remove.
