Non-stop RAID group capacity expansion - Logical Device Expansion
Logical Device Expansion allows the capacity of an existing RAID group to be dynamically expanded by changing of the RAID level or the drive configuration of the RAID group. When this function is performed, drives can be also added at the same time. By using this LDE function to expand the capacity of an existing RAID group, a new volume can be added without having to add new RAID groups.
Expand the RAID group capacity (from RAID5(3D+1P) ⇒ RAID5(5D+1P))
Change the RAID levels (from RAID5(3D+1P) ⇒ RAID1+0(4D+4M))
Benefits
- Enables RAID group capacity increases by adding disk drives while retaining data
- Enables reorganization of RAID groups to different levels and different capacities at the same time
