Expanding a Volume
You must expand a volume’s actual capacity, its capacity as identified by the file server, to match its resized potential capacity using the CLI command volume expand. If you do not expand the resized volume, its resized capacity will not be available for storage use. After expanding a volume, its host’s file server will show its new capacity but the disk partition will not expand automatically. The host must expand the disk partition.
In Figure 90, a concatenated volume is expanded from two terabytes to an actual capacity of three terabytes to match its resized potential capacity of three terabytes.
