Thanks for your response both with in the Forum as well as through gmail
I was with you on all except that last statement that you made
I am now confused!
Let me quote you from the forum -
"The disks have to OFFLINE do extend with diskpart! They can't have any
access or diskpart will fail. You can do them one at a time or together (one
after another - each only take seconds to extend), "
Is this correct?
Article says, take the entire group off-line and then bring the disk
resource ON-LINE
Please confirm is the DISK has to be OFF-LINE or ONLINE on CLuster
While doing extension on EVA and DISKPART
