expand vdisk Description Adds disks to a vdisk. All disks used in a vdisk and its spares must be either SAS or SATA; mixing disk types is not supported. Adding single-ported disks to a vdisk that contains dual-ported disks is supported; however, because single-ported disks are not fault-tolerant, a confirmation prompt will appear. The expansion capability for each supported RAID level is: RAID level Expansion capability Maximum disks NRAID Cannot expand. 1 0, 3, 5, 6 Can add 1-4 disks at a time. 16 1 Cannot expand. 2 10 Can add 2 or 4 disks at a time. 16 50 Can expand the vdisk one RAID-5 sub-vdisk at a 32 time. The added RAID-5 sub-vdisk must contain the same number of disks as each original sub-vdisk. CAUTION: Vdisk expansion cannot be stopped and can take days to complete, depending on disk type, RAID level, and other factors.
