To access these settings, log in, and navigate to File Volume Operations/Create File
Volumes. All of the options described above are available.
How do I extend the size of an existing volume?
A primary file volume is limited to 256GB; however, its size can be extended by
attaching segments to it. Up to 63 segments can be attached to a single primary file
volume.
The first step is to create the segment:
1. Access the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.
2. Press [Enter] at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.
3. Select option “D”, “Disks and Volumes”.
4. Enter the letter corresponding to the system drive where the extension volume
will be created. Space is displayed in GB.
5. Enter the number for “Create” (this will vary depending on how many volumes
have previously been created).
6. Select option “2”, “sfs2ext” for the type of partition you would like to create.
Sfs2ext is an extension volume.
7. Type a unique name for the new segment in the “Name” box. Up to 12 characters
may be used; however the first character must be a letter. Valid characters include
alphanumeric (a - z, A - Z, 0 - 9) and "_" (underscore) characters. This name is case
sensitive. It is recommended to use lower case names, as this will make
configuration of extensions and shares much easier.
8. Enter the size of extension in MB.
9. Select option “7”, “Proceed with create”.
10. StorEdge will format the extension volume.
11. When complete hit the [Esc] key to proceed.
12. Enter the number of the volume to which you want to attach segment.
13. Select option “5”, “Segments”.
14. Select option “1”, “Add an extension segment”.
15. Select option “A”, “Select extension”.
16. Read the warning:
