Storage Array Upgrades

Adding Disks

To increase capacity, additional disks may be added to the storage array in

the HP NAS 8000 solution. If you have VA7400 series arrays, up to six

DS2400 disk enclosures may also be added to each array. Instructions for

these procedures appear in the

HP Surestore VA7100 and VA7400 User and

Service Guide

(see http://www.hp.com/cposupport/manual_set/

lpg28817.pdf). Please contact your HP support representative for information

on supported configurations.

Modifying Storage Settings

The storage space on the new disks must be made accessible to the server

and users. This can be done in two ways:

Expanding an existing volume group to include the new LUN.
