Adding a Disk Drive to an Array
You can add additional disks to an existing RAID1, RAID5, and RAID10. As long as the array is clean,
these disks then become spares.
NOTE:
When adding disks to an array, we recommend you use the same model of disk with
the same capacity. The new disk must have at least the same capacity of the smallest
disk currently in the array. With the exception of a JBOD, RAIDs are configured to
use the maximum of the smallest disk capacity in the array for each additional disk
in the array. For example, if you install two, 250 GB disks and one 500 GB disk, the
total capacity is 750 GB.
To add a disk to an array:
1. If not already installed in the chassis, insert the disk in the NSS.
2. From the
Manager Menu
, click
Storage
RAID.
The
RAID
page appears.
3. In the
RAID Arrays
table, click
Edit
for the applicable RAID array.
