    • Capacity to be expanded
  • Make sure that the user performing the procedure has been assigned the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role.

  2. From the inventory of servers, click the server name to open the details page.
  3. From the inventory of volumes at the bottom of the details page, select the check boxes for the volumes to be expanded, and then click Expand Volumes in the action bar.
