STD 8GB device expand
Hello all,
I have a question regarding meta expansion. We have some 8GB std devices mapped & masked to servers. Now we need to add more storage and thought of expanding those devices. Is this achivable ? these are also R1 devices being replicated.
thanks,
Ramesh

- thanks Dynamox. Yes I know I did ask a question but it was about rdf pairing and did come to know that not possible with out deleting the pair. But this one was want to make sure that I need to unmap before I proceed.
So would that impact any data on the device? also does it requires unmasking too? So since its a R1 STD , then I guess i need to unmap, delete rdf pair then expand and redo everything if I am correct. - actually ...let me re-phrase that ...i've done concatenated expansions like that. I don't think your data will survive if you create a striped meta without using a BCV to protect the data. The option is "protect_data=TRUE"

let me correct if i am wrong...
a)we cannot expand a std device to meta when it is online. we need to unmap it and expand it and map again.
b)we can expand an existing meta online with out unmapping.
c)if the std device has srdf pair. we need to first split the pair and unmap the std and expand it.
d)if the meta device has srdf pair.we need to split the pair and expand it.
