Dell MD3600I, MD3620I owner manual Add Physical Disks window closes, 165

NOTE: The physical disks that appear have a capacity that is either the same size or larger than the capacity of the physical disks already being used by the disk group.

9Select either a single physical disk to add or two physical disks to add.

10Click Add.

The Add Physical Disks window closes.

11Check the Physical Disks to add [enclosure, slot] area to make sure that the correct physical disks have been added.

12Either accept the final capacity, or enter or select the appropriate capacity in Increase capacity by.

13Click OK.

The Logical tab is updated. The snapshot repository virtual disk that is having its capacity increased shows a status of Operation in Progress. In addition, the snapshot repository virtual disk shows its original capacity and the total capacity being added. The Free Capacity node involved in the increase shows a reduction in capacity. If all of the free capacity is used to increase the size of the virtual disk, the Free Capacity node involved is removed from the Logical tab.

A new Free Capacity node is created and shown in the Logical tab if these conditions exist:

•A Free Capacity node did not exist prior to the addition of capacity.

•Not all of the capacity that is added is used to increase the capacity of the snapshot repository virtual disk.

On the Physical tab, the unassigned physical disks or unconfigured capacity that you added to increase the capacity of the snapshot repository virtual disk change to assigned physical disks. The new assigned physical disks are associated with the disk group of the snapshot repository virtual disk.
