Increasing PS Series Group Capacity

If additional PS Series group storage capacity is needed in order to create
more volumes or expand volumes, you can add more members (arrays) to the
group:

1 Set up the hardware for the new PS Series storage array.
2 Run

setup

. When prompted for the PS Series group to join, specify the

group name and IP address. For complete array setup and member
configuration instructions, see the PS Series QuickStart or the Group
Administration manual.

3 After the array has been added to the group, volume data is load-balanced

across all the group members and the group capacity expanded. You can
then add new volumes or increase the size of existing volumes.
