Adding Capacity to a Volume You can increase the size of a volume, up to the space available in its pool. To add capacity to a volume: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. 2 In the Volumes View, right-click the volume you want, then select Extend volume. For help selecting the right volume, use the expansion arrows to display more volume information. The Extend Volume window opens. 3 By default, the Extend By field is set to the space available in the pool. Adjust the number to suit your requirements, then click OK. Note You must extend the size of a volume in multiples of 10 MB. You can begin using the volume for storage immediately; you don't have to wait for the job to complete. The volume appears in the Volumes view with its new size. Reassigning a Volume to Another iSCSI Storage Host You can reassign a volume to a different iSCSI Storage Host on your IP SAN, or change the volume drive letter. Note When you are reassigning a volume, the system it's being assigned to must be connected to the same Management Service as the original system. To reassign a volume: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. 2 In the Volumes View, right-click the volume you want, then select Reassign volume. The Reassign Volume window opens. 3 Reassign the volume by selecting a different system from the iSCSI Storage Host drop-down list, or select a new drive letter or remote directory. 4 Click OK. Caution If you are reassigning a volume, ensure that there is no activity on the volume before you continue. If the volume is in use, the reassignment will not complete successfully. 5 Click Yes to begin the job.
