Expanding storage

Expanding storage
You can expand storage by installing additional disk modules in empty disk slots or by
connecting additional storage chassis. To use the additional storage, you must bind
unbound LUNs and create a new video file system which includes the new disk modules.
CAUTION: Back up all media on existing drives before creating a new video file
system. Creating a new video file system destroys all media files and other data on
the disk modules.
If you are adding additional storage chassis, refer to the Installation Guide for your
Profile XP Media Platform to make hardware connections, then return to this procedure
to configure the storage system.
To create a video file system on expanded storage:
1. Start Configuration Manager using the desktop shortcut or by selecting Start |
Programs | Profile Applications | Configuration Manager .
2. In Configuration Manager, click File System to start GVG Disk Utility.
3. Expand the tree view and identify bound LUNs and unbound disks by their
placement in the hierarchy of the tree view.
4. If there are unbound LUNs displayed in the tree view, you must perform the
following steps, otherwise, proceed to step f.
a. To bind unbound disks, right-click the Unbound node for a controller, then select
Bind LUNs in the context menu. (Peer controllers that share the same set of disks
are automatically selected as a pair.)
