Use the Free Capacity option to increase the capacity of a logical drive using free capacity on the array of the standard logical drive or the flashcopy repository logical drive.
The , shown in the Logical pane, is a contiguous region of unassigned capacity on a defined array. When increasing logical drive capacity, some or all of the free capacity might be used to achieve the required final capacity. Data on the selected logical drive will remain accessible while the process for increasing logical drive capacity is in progress.
Use the Unconfigured Capacity option to increase the capacity of a standard logical drive or a flashcopy repository logical drive when no free capacity exists on an array. An increase is achieved by adding , in the form of , to the array of the standard logical drive or the flashcopy repository logical drive. You can add a maximum of two disk drives at one time to increase the capacity of a logical drive.
