That is, on completion of an array expansion, the additional capacity can be used without rebooting the system. Refer to your operating system documentation for instructions on using the additional capacity. The following rules apply to migration: 1 The capacity of the new array must match or exceed the capacity of the current array. 2 If the capacity and/or RAID type of the new array requires greater total drive capacity than the current array, the additional capacity must be on drives that are not already used in the current array. 5-15
