The display refreshes periodically, and you should see the inserted drives as
New
in the
State
column. They are ready to be admitted into the system, which occurs automatically.
Within six minutes (depending on the system load and the size of the upgrade), the
State
of the new drives changes to
Normal
, and the system starts to initialize the chunklets to
ready for use.
Chunklet initialization can take several hours to complete and the output of the available
capacity is displayed.
NOTE:
The system can be used normally, but newly added capacity must be initialized
before it can be allocated.
