Appendix
You should note the following when expanding disk capacity using the Expand
Capacity function.
IMPORTANT:
● You can only use the Expand Capacity function if there is no I/O activity
on the storage system at the time when you expand a group or a LUN.
● The Expand Capacity function can only be run on one controller. On
dual controller systems the partner controller will be deactivated.
● The ports connected to the partner controller will NOT BE AVAILABLE
while the Expand Capacity function is running. No RAID protection is
given while the Expand Capacity function is performed.
● You can only expand a logical unit (LUN) when this is the only unit in
the array.
● Any unused storage areas will be assigned automatically when the
Expand Capacity function has been terminated.
When a new disk is inserted in the FibreCAT S80 it will be flagged as
UNKNOWN on the Disk > Enclosures file card.
In order to add disk capacity to an existing array, you must first define the drive
as a spare drive (see the Spare Drives section).
