VRTX expand RAID
I'm trying to expand a virtual disk in VRTX chassi. I have a RAID6 virtual CSV disk that needs more space but I cannot understand how to achive this in CMC. The only option I can find is to assign a hotspare. Any ideas?

RFSU,
You can not expand the Virtual Disk on a VRTX, it's not a listed option. It was supported on previous systems but was excluded on the VRTX. You would need to backup the data. Reconfigure/Resize the arrays, then restore the data back to the arrays.
Sorry about that. Let me know if this answers your question.

Any updates for the future about this problem? its not a normal storage :/
How its not possible to assign more disk to a existing RAID?
For example if i buy new disk and want to add to existing volume i cant expand the volume correct?
