7. When you are finished choosing drives, click Done. The icon for the

Array Group appears with a black flag until the expansion process

is started.

8. Select File–Set System Configuration to start the array expansion.

The status flag on the Array Group turns blue and the flags on the

components turn white during the expansion process.

You can perform other activity on the system while the expansion

continues, because the array is fully functional during the

expansion process.

NOTE For large arrays, the expansion can take several hours to

complete. Host I/O activity can prolong the expansion process.

If you want to monitor the progress of the expansion operation, you can

use Storage Manager to view the Array Group Information window. Status

is Expanding during the expansion process, Optimal when it has completed.

Reconfiguring Windows NT After Array Expansion

When the array expansion is complete, do the following to allow Windows

NT to recognize the additional space:

1. Shut down and restart Windows NT.

NOTE When restarting, Windows NT will run CHKDSK to verify the

new space. This might take an extended period of time for

large volumes.

2. Start Disk Administrator. The new space appears as Free Space at

the end of the existing logical drive.

3. Select both the original logical drive and the free space by

highlighting both segments.

4. Select Partition–Extend Volume Set...

Click Yes when prompted to the save your changes and to restart

Windows NT.

Use the RDISK.EXE utility to update your emergency repair diskette with

the new disk configuration information.
