|  |     No you can not add on the fly.  Yes it is being considered but you will
    have to check with product managment to det details.  I usually
    recommend that the customer starts a new Raid set when he runs out of
    room.  Otherwise you are constantly redoing your subsystem.

|  |     A much more important question would be if the operating system can
    handle the growth of a disk under it. I think the usual answer is NO.

| 813.3 | Yup operating systems don't like changes like that | SSDEVO::RMCLEAN |  | Thu Mar 20 1997 13:58 | 5 |

That is a good point UNLESS you have a partitioned raidset.  Then it might
make some sense.  If you need more info talk to product management but
I don't see much being done for HSx40/50 controllers in this manner.

|  | If you want to grow the size of an existing volume on
Digital UNIX, then just use ADVFS.  It has that capability.
Note that this is a S/W capability, you still can't change
the size of an underlying logical spindle.
