Configuring Units

128 3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card Software User Guide, Version 10.0

c After the unit has been removed, click the Rescan button. The new

unit capacity displays.

3 Resize the partition and file system or create a new partition.

In Windows, use the disk management utility to determine whether the

disk is a basic disk or a dynamic disk.

• Go to Administrative Tools > Computer Management, and then select

Disk Management in the list on the left.

Only dynamic disks can be expanded with Windows Disk

Management. If the unit is shown as a basic disk, right-click on the

disk icon and change it to a dynamic disk.

Older Windows systems cannot convert basic disks into dynamic

disks after the file system has been created.

• If the unit is shown as a dynamic disk, right-click on it and choose

Extend Volume to launch the Extend Volume wizard.

In Linux, the tools to expand the partition and file system can vary,

depending on the kernel version and file system that you are using. Please

consult your Linux documentation and the LSI Knowledge Base for more

information.

Deleting a Unit

You delete a unit—either an array of disks, or a Single Disk—when you want

to reconfigure the unit or use the drives for other purposes.

After you delete a unit, the drives appear in the list of Available Drives.

If you have incomplete drives, or drives that appear with a message such as

“Unsupported DCB,” indicating that they were previously part of a unit on a

3ware 7000/8000 series controller, they must be deleted before you use them.

(If you want to move a unit from a 7/8000 controller to a 9750 controller, you

must convert the drives first. For more information, see “Moving a Unit from

One Controller to Another” on page 133.)

Warning: When a unit is deleted, all of the data on that unit will be lost. The drives

cannot be reassembled into the same unit because the data on it is erased. If you

want to reassemble the drives into the same unit on another controller, use the

Remove Unit button in 3DM instead of the

Delete Unit button. Or, if you’re at the

BIOS level already, you can shut down the computer and physically move the drives

to another 3ware 9750 RAID controller. When you restart your system, the

controller will recognize the unit. For more information see “Moving a Unit from One

Controller to Another” on page 133.
