Adding a Disk Shelf to an Existing Storage Pool (CLI)
3.
If you have multiple pools, a default pool is selected and displayed. If this is
not the pool to which you want to add the device, enter set pool= and specify
another online pool.
Note - If you have a single pool, the pool name is not displayed, but it is selected.
hostname:configuration storage (pool0)> set pool=pool1
pool = pool1
A message reminds you to verify that the device is correctly installed. Note that mixing device
types and speeds is strongly discouraged.
4.
Enter add.
hostname:configuration storage (pool1)> add
5.
Enter show to see the device information for the pool:
hostname:configuration storage (pool1) verify> show
ID STATUS ALLOCATION DATA LOG CACHE RPM
0 ok custom 0 0 0/4 1.86T
1 ok custom 0 0/2 34G 0 15000
2 ok custom 0 0/2 34G 0 15000
6.
Specify which disk shelf or the controller and the number of data drives to use.
ID "0" is the controller, and the remaining IDs are the disk shelves. In the following example,
1-data=8 allocates eight data drives from the first disk shelf.
hostname:configuration storage (pool1) verify> set 1-data=8
1-data = 8
7.
(Optional) Specify which disk shelf or the controller and the number of log or
cache devices to use.
ID "0" is the controller, and the remaining IDs are the disk shelves. In the following example,
set 0-cache=1 allocates one cache device from the controller:
hostname:configuration storage (pool1) verify> set 0-cache=1
0-cache = 1
8.
Enter done.
hostname:configuration storage (pool1) verify> done
The storage devices are verified for presence and minimum functionality. If verification fails,
fix the problem, and begin this procedure again. If you allocate a pool with missing or failed
devices, you will not be able to add the missing or failed devices later.
