The Migrate dialog box appears, listing the drives which can be added to
the unit.
4 Select the drives(s) you wish to add to the unit by checking the Port ID
box next to each one.

6Click
OK.
The Maintenance page updates to show the newly reconfigured unit. The
Status column title indicates that Migration is in progress.
7 If you booted from the unit that is being migrated, when migration is
complete, reboot your system. Then turn to Step 4 under “Informing the
Operating System of Changed Configuration” on page 155.
8 Inform the operating system of the change, as described below.
Note: You can also perform these steps using the CLI. For more
information, see the 3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID
Controller CLI Guide.
Informing the Operating System of Changed
Configuration
After you change the configuration of a unit, you must inform the operating
system of the change, and you may need to re-partition the unit.
Resizing the file system to match the new partition size is not automatic. It
may be necessary to expand the file-system using tools specific to your
operating system.
In addition, in order to use the new capacity, you need to either resize the
existing partition or add a new partition.
Note: This step can only be done after the system has completed
the migration or online capacity process. The operating system will
not see the capacity until that process is complete.
