Expanding a Volume Definition with MetaSAN
by Allan White on Jan 31, 2009 at 7:13:29 am

Greetings. I've just added another RAID pile on my XRAID, which is on a separate controller. I've initialized it & formatted it, and we've been able to successfully add it to MetaSAN, where it appears as a separate volume (SAN1 & SAN2).

I'd really like for the whole thing (both RAID sets) to act as one logical volume for performance purposes. Is it possible to "expand" the RAID definition without wiping the data on the first set? If I have to, that's okay - it's double-backed-up - do I need to look at my RAID Admin, Disk Utility, or is there a way to do it in MetaSAN?

Thanks for any suggestions.
