Adding volumes to an AdvancedDisk disk pool
You can expand a disk pool’s capacity by adding disk volumes to the disk pool.
The names of the new volumes must differ from the names of the volumes in the
current disk pool.
The NetBackup storage units that use the disk pool use the additional storage
capacity automatically. You do not have to change the storage units.
(By default, NetBackup automatically increases disk pool capacity if the capacity
of the underlying disk volumes increases. Similarly, NetBackup decreases the
capacity of a disk pool if the underlying disk volume capacity decreases.)

ProcedureTask
See “Configuring an AdvancedDisk disk pool”
on page 29.
Create a disk pool from the new
disk volumes on the storage
server.
When you merge the disk pools, specify the original
disk pool as the primary one. NetBackup deletes the
secondary disk pool after the merge.

Changing AdvancedDisk disk pool properties
You can change the properties of a disk pool.
To add volumes to a disk pool, you must use a different procedure.
