Re: Extend Disk Space

Hp Support forum guys were suggesting hp Open View 'Volume Growth'
for expanding disks for servers attached to EVA Storage
Have you come across this tool?
If so Would you recommend it?
Is it far more risk-free to do it that way?
While looking for what could go wrong, I find several KB articles
relating to Disk Signature Loss
for eg. KB 293778
I need to have some level of comfort to be able to do it
with out issues because this is a PRD Cluster also running
SQL Server and SAP
Thanks again for your valuable input

Regards

George
