Extend Logical Drive

For links and interfaces common to all Configuration Wizards links, please see Wizards Overview in ACU help.

The following screens allow you to perform logical drive extension. This will allow you to increase capacity of an existing logical drive

Warning: Logical drive extension is not supported by all operating systems. Only extend logical drives that are used with an operating system that supports extensions. Check your operating system documentation or contact your operating system vendor before extending logical drives.

Your first option will be to select the logical drive you want to extend from the choices listed.

The next option is to select the new size for the extended logical drive.

Logical Drive Size
Enter a larger logical drive size in the MB value field.

When you save the extended logical drive it will be restructured so that its data is preserved.

You can make the extended space of the logical drive available for use by your operating system by one of the following methods:

  • Create a new partition in the extended space of the logical drive by using the operating system partitioning software.
  • Increase the size of existing partition(s) in the extended logical drive by using the operating system partition software or using third party partitioning tools.
