* Context: The Dell VPLEX system allows for the expansion of virtual volumes to accommodate growing data storage needs without disrupting ongoing operations.
* Initialization Process: When expanding storage volumes, the system undergoes initialization processes to integrate the new storage capacity effectively.
* Concurrent Processes Limit: For virtual volumes built on RAID-1 or distributed RAID-1 devices, the maximum number of initialization processes that can run concurrently per cluster is 1000. This limit ensures optimal performance and resource management within the cluster.
* Implications: If the limit of 1000 concurrent processes is reached, no new storage volume expansions can be initiated until some of the ongoing initialization processes are completed.
