Windows 2000 Dynamic disks
Expansion of dynamic disks using the Expand SAN Resource Wizard is not
supported for clients using either SAN/IP. Due to the nature of dynamic disks,
it is not safe to alter the size of the virtual device. However, dynamic disks do
provide an alternative method to extend the dynamic volume.
To extend a dynamic volume using SAN Resources, use the following steps:
• Create a new SAN Resource and assign it to the ASC Client. This will
become an additional disk which will be used to extend the dynamic
volume.
• Use Disk Manager to write the disk signature and upgrade the disk to
"Dynamic”.
• Use Disk Manager to extend the dynamic volume.
• The new SAN Resource should be available in the list box of the
Dynamic Disk expansion dialog.
AIX clients
Expanding an ASC virtual disk will not change the size of the existing AIX
volume group. To expand the volume group, a new disk has to be assigned and
the
extendvg
command should be used to enlarge the size of the volume
group.
