12.6Configuration Example: Volume Extension in Windows 2000® Server

Limitations When Using Windows 2000

1.Applies only to the Windows NT Server or Windows 2000 Server Disk Management which includes the Extend Volume Set function; Windows NT Workstation does not support this feature. The volume set expansion formats the new area without affecting existing files on the original volume.

2.The system drive (boot drive) of a Windows NT/2000 system can not be expanded.

3.The drive to be expanded should be using the NTFS file system.

Example:

The following example demonstrates the expansion of a 16988MB RAID 5 logical drive. The HyperTerminal emulation software that comes with Windows Server is used to connect to the RAID controller via RS-232C.
