Expanding A ReadyNAS iSCSI Volume
iSCSI volumes are a great way to store data, at some point or another you may need to expand your iSCSI volume. If your volume is on a ReadyNAS you can easily expand the volume and then extend the drive/volume in Windows like so:
Log in to FrontView (at the ip of your server /admin, e.g. 192.168.0.100/admin), select volumes in the left hand menu, select the iSCSI tab.
Click the expand button for the volume you want to expand.
Enter the desired capacity and then click apply.
Once the expansion is complete you will need to then extend the volume in disk management in Windows Control Panel.
Open disk management.
Right click on the existing volume, and select Extend Volume.
The wizard will pop up, click next.
Choose the volume, and enter how much you want to extend it by. In this case it was 100GB and I am extending it by 100GB.
The volume will extend.
