Chapter 6 Managing the File System

Working With Disks

5Select from the Available Disks list the disk you want to add to the file system. You can select multiple disks by pressing the CTRL key and clicking the disk name. Click OK to continue. The Add Disk Status screen appears.

6After the status screen indicates that the disks have been added, click Close. The Manage Disks screen (figure 67 on page 109) appears, and the disks list includes the disks you just added.

7Start the file system as described in Making a File System on page 105.

8Mount the file system as described in Mounting or Unmounting a File System on page 107.

Caution: When you add a new disk or stripe group to your SAN, often an OS-dependent operation must be run to make the added device recognizable by a host. Some of these utilities can disrupt access to existing disks, causing access hangs or failures. To avoid this, stop all file system operations on the affected host before rescanning for the new device.

	Use this procedure to delete a disk from a selected file system.
Deleting Disks

Caution: Deleting a disk used in a stripe group results in a complete loss of user data and requires re-making the file system. For information on re-making the file system, refer to Making or Unmaking a File System on page 104.

1From the SNFS home page, choose Disks from the Config menu. The Manage Disks screen (figure 67) appears.

2Select from the File Systems drop-down menu the file system that contains the disk you want to delete.

3Select from the Disks list the disk you want to delete.

4Click Delete. A message asks you to confirm that you want to delete the disk.
