    Hello thanks for choosing Dell.

    https://dell.to/3D9mszTOnline Capacity Expansion (OCE) can be done in two ways:

     

    • If there is a single virtual disk in a disk group and free space is available. The virtual disk’s capacity can be expanded within that free space.
    • If a virtual disk is created and it does not use the maximum size of the disk group, free space is available.

    Please note that you will need to do some extra work such as giving partitions.
