About detecting a new storage array enclosure

You can expand the storage capacity of the DL Appliance by adding an additional
storage array enclosure. Backup Exec automatically detects the new enclosure
and issues an alert when the following conditions are present:

The enclosure is configured in a standard configuration.

The DL Appliance uses the configuration policy called Automatic with
confirmation.

Backup Exec creates and configures virtual disks for each disk group it detects in
the new enclosure. Backup Exec then adds the virtual disk names to the All Virtual
Disks device pool. It also adds the names to the storage array that is found under
the Storage Arrays icon.
