Table 16 Manage Volume
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Repair RAID Select this to repair a degraded RAID volume.
Expand the
volume by
adding disk(s)
Select this to add one or more disks to a JBOD, RAID 1 or RAID 5 volume. You can add a disk to
increase an array’s capacity or to use as a hot-spare (standby). When you add a disk to an
existing array, you do not have to re-create shares, access rights and so on as you would if you
create a new volume.
Note: This option is available when a disk has not been allocated to any volume or
disk group yet.
Expand the
volume with
unallocated disk
space
Select this to add more storage space to a volume if there is still some space unallocated on
the same disk group. Select this if the NAS fails to expand a volume by adding disk(s) and the
final volume capacity is not as expected. For example, you want to expand a 1 TB RAID 1
volume by adding two more 1 TB disks. The volume size should be 2 TB after expansion,
however, you just see 1 TB. Use this option to fix the issue.
Change RAID
Type
Select this if you want to change the volume’s RAID type from Basic to RAID 1, RAID 1 to RAID 5,
or RAID 5 to RAID 6.
