<h3 id="rzahqexpandadisk">Expand a disk drive</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can expand a virtual disk drive (network server storage space) without
|
||
|
|
copying the disk drive. For information about expanding a boot disk, see <a href="rzahqexpandabootdrive.htm#rzahqexpandabootdrive">Expand a system drive</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To expand a disk drive, follow these steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
||
|
|
<li>Expand <span class="bold">Integrated Server Administration</span> -> <span class="bold">All Virtual Disks</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Select a disk drive from the list available.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-click the disk drive and select <span class="bold">Properties</span> or
|
||
|
|
click the appropriate icon on the iSeries™ Navigator toolbar.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click on the <span class="bold">Capacity</span> tab of the disk drive property
|
||
|
|
sheet.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Specify the increased disk size in the <span class="bold">New capacity</span> field.
|
||
|
|
See the on-line help for details on valid disk sizes associated with a particular
|
||
|
|
file system format. The extended portion of the disk will be unpartitioned
|
||
|
|
free space.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If the disk is linked to an active server, a confirmation panel is shown
|
||
|
|
to indicate that the disk drive will be temporarily unavailable to the server
|
||
|
|
while the disk is being expanded. Click <span class="bold">Change</span> on the
|
||
|
|
confirmation panel to confirm that this is acceptable, or click <span class="bold">Cancel</span> on the confirmation panel to cancel the disk expansion operation.</li></ol>

<ol type="1"><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The disk cannot be linked to an active server while it is being
|
||
|
|
expanded. If the server supports dynamic unlinking of disk drives, then the
|
||
|
|
above procedure can be performed while the server is active. In this case,
|
||
|
|
the disk is dynamically unlinked, then expanded and then dynamically relinked
|
||
|
|
to the server again. Therefore, the disk is temporarily unavailable to the
|
||
|
|
active server while the disk is being expanded.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The DISKPART command line utility can be used to expand an existing partition
|
||
|
|
in order to utilize any additional free space.

Space (CHGNWSSTG). Note that when using CHGNWSSTG to expand the disk, the
|

|

disk cannot be linked to an active server. CHGNWSSTG will not automatically
|

|
|
unlink and relink the disk if the server is active.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
