Adding an additional RAID group to a configured appliance
Note:
Removing a drive out of a RAID group and moving it to a different RAID group is not supported. The disk drives have been
formatted to a unique RAID configuration and should not be reused for hot-swappable drive replacements.
AltaVault appliance storage configurations support only homogeneous drive sizes; the AVA400 supports 4TB and the
AVA800 supports 6TB drives.
You can add an additional 12-pack RAID group to a configured and running AltaVault appliance. Note that the
maximum number of RAID supported groups is five. A RAID group ships with an initialized RAID volume. Use the
following instructions when the shelf is half full (currently containing a 12-pack RAID group) and you want to add
another 12-pack.
Before you begin
Ensure that customer has an empty AVA10S shelf or an existing shelf with 12 empty disk slots. The empty
slots number from 0-11 and 12-23. If a shelf needs to be added, follow the procedure described in
disk shelves and disk drives” on page 18
Ensure the controller and the shelf are powered off. To shut down the controller, follow the procedure in the
section,
“Shutting down controllers” on page 60
To add a 12-pack RAID group to a system
1.
Place the 12 drives into the empty slots on the powered off disk shelf. The slots are numbered and grouped 0-11
and 12-23. Any drive in the 12-pack can go into any slot within the selected group.
2.
Power on the shelf and then the controller.
3.
Login as admin to the CLI using an SSH connection to the management NIC or serial console.
4.
Enter the following CLI command in the configuration terminal:
CLI> show raidgroups
This command lists all the add-on RAID Groups connected to the AltaVault system. For the newly added RAID
group, the following message displays:
raidgroup import <vd_id>
. The
vd_id
is an ID generated by the
system.
5.
Use the following command to import the newly added RAID Group into the AltaVault system and make it
available for use.
CLI> raidgroup import <vd_id>
6.
Confirm that the RAID group has been imported by running the following command:
show raidgroups
