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.
