Expanding a volume that is mapped to a Microsoft Windows host by using the CLI
You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to expand the size of a volume that is mapped to a Microsoft Windows host.
About this task
After you complete the steps in Expanding volumes by using the CLI, start the Computer Management application and open the Disk Management window under the Storage branch.
The volume that you expanded now has some unprovisioned capacity at the end of the disk.
You can expand dynamic disks without stopping I/O operations in most cases.
What to do next
If the Computer Management application was open before you expanded the volume, use the Computer Management application to issue a rescan command.
If the disk is a Windows basic disk, you can create a new primary or extended partition from the unprovisioned capacity.
If the disk is a Windows dynamic disk, you can use the unprovisioned capacity to create a new volume (simple, striped, or mirrored) or add it to an existing volume.
