Hello,

I am looking to extend my exchange 2010 volume database volume size which also a part of DAG through built-in windows utility I would like to know can I extend the volume size like I extend to other volumes or should I need to follow certain procedure in order to extend exchange 2010 database....

Please advise

Regards,

Ehsan

You can do online expansion like other volume. To play safe (i.e. it's not mandatory but recommended), you may like to,

1. Make sure you have a recent backup
2. Dismount the database for standalone DB
3. For DBs in a DAG, make the current copy passive and suspend the replication

Hi Ehsan,

It should not impact, but as per good practice keep Li's comments in mind.
