...

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!!

If you use SnapDrive to create the lun, you should always use SnapDrive to expand it, or the space could show up as unallocated.

If you are on W2K3 System why bother with snapdrive. We resize our LUNs with the normal procedures on the filer via the web or cli. To expand the filesystem we use the built-in diskpart utility which does that for free without downtime (unless it is not the Windows system partition but i don´t think that you host your databases there ;-) ).
