I apologyze for this so LATE answer but it does depend on email misteries J

Oggetto: R: Expand LUN for Exch data
Much more than a convenient GUI…much more!
“hot” expansions using W2K3 diskpart tool and so on are not so “hot”…sometime a reboot is required and a conversion to dynamic disk, not supported (but working) on iSCSI.
SD 5 has new features that can resolve the block overallocation when LUNs are formatted NTFS, SD can use the “vol options extent on” that must be applied on each volume hosting LUNs for Exchange (avoiding fragmentation and others).
SD can recognize a mirrored volume ordering a mirror update in case of needing, can be scripted and scheduled and so on…
Furthermore is a must to use Snapmanager suites

Of course you can. In w2k3 for sure. You do not even need SnapDrive for this, it just adds convenient GUI to do it.

you have to have configured your volumes as "dynamic disks" in Windows first, however.
you cannot expand "basic disks" on the fly.

We use this quite frequently for our Public Folder stores. Works like a champ.

SnapDrive makes an API call to expand the NTFS partition and file system within it. (It grows the LUN first.) This can be done with Exchange running. We demo this all the time.
Happy holidays!!

Yes you can. I have done it a few times already with no problems.

I'm off network so I can't research this, but want to ensure that I can
expand a LUN for Exchange on the fly, no downtime.
Plan to use SnapDrive 5.0. Volume is already large enough in capacity.
Thanks!!
