Important
Stop all I/O to the disk while performing this procedure by setting offline
all the resources in the cluster group that contains the disks. One way to
do this is by bringing offline the cluster group that contains the disk in the
cluster administration utility, and then bringing online only the physical
disk. This should close all open handles to the disk.
4. Open a command prompt window and issue the
diskpart
command. Or, in the
IBM NAS Admin utility, select
Storage
→
Diskpart
→
Diskpart
.
5. In the DiskPart utility, you can list the volumes in the computer by issuing the
List Volume
command. Check the number for your volume by comparing the
label.
6. Select the volume you want to extend by entering:
select volume
X
where
X
is the number of the volume you want to extend.
7. Issue the command
extend
to extend the selected volume.
8. Rescan the disks with the
rescan
command and list all volumes with the
capacity changed.
9. Exit the utility by issuing the
exit
command.
10. Bring online all resources in the cluster group containing the disk by
right-clicking the group and selecting
Bring Online
.
11. Power on the node that is down and move the group that owns the disk to
ensure proper operation. When the node is up, perform these steps:
a. Open the IBM NAS Admin utility and select
Cluster Tools
→
Cluster
Administration
.
b. Right-click the group in the Cluster Administrator and select
Move Group
.
12. When the group has been moved, check that the volume size has been
increased by opening the IBM NAS Admin tool and selecting
Storage
→
Disk
Management (local)
.
Formatting the logical drives
Note the following restrictions when formatting logical drives:
1. Disk 0 (the internal hard disk drive) is an 18-GB drive, preformatted into two
partitions: a 6-GB partition (label System, drive letter C:) and a 12-GB partition
(label MAINTENANCE, drive letter D:). Do not reformat or repartition these
partitions. Doing so could wipe out important data and seriously impair the
functioning of your system.
2. Do
not
upgrade any disks to dynamic. Only basic disks are supported for
clustering. In addition, all partitions used for clustering must be primary
partitions.
3. Do
not
use drive letter F: as a volume drive letter. This drive letter is reserved
for Persistent Storage Manager-based backup using NAS Backup Assistant.
Follow this procedure to format logical drives.
1. Open IBM NAS Admin and select
Disk Management (Local)
in the Storage
folder.
2. At the Write Signature and Upgrade Disk Wizard, click
Cancel
.
