Log in as the install user.
The HCP Configuration Menu appears. The following window is included for illustrative purposes. Your screen will specify the HCP version that you are running.
HCP 9.0 Configuration Menu ============================================= [1] Get HCP Setup Files [2] Install an HCP System [3] Upgrade an HCP System [4] Add a Node to an HCP System [5] Perform Checks for Offline Upgrade [6] Perform Checks for Online Upgrade [v] Add Logical Volumes to an HCP System [s] Perform a Service Procedure [q] Log Out Currently installed version: 9.0 Version on CD/DVD: None Extracted version: 9.0 Enter a selection:
-
Enter v to add logical volumes to an
HCP system.
Add New Storage ============================================= [1] Add Storage to the HCP System while It Is Online [q] Return to Configuration Menu Enter your choice [Default: 1]:
-
Enter 1 to add storage to the HCP system while it is online.
Add Storage to the HCP System while it is Online ============================================= This option adds storage to a node. It should be used only by trained and Qualified personnel. FOR SAIN SYSTEMS: Before you begin, make sure that someone present is qualified and authorized to use the storage management application for your storage array. WARNING (SAIN SYSTEMS): Be sure the new storage is properly configured at the storage tier before continuing this procedure. Trying to add improperly configured storage can result in data loss or can cause the system to become inoperable. Are you sure you still want to continue? [Default: no]: yes You chose “yes”, is that correct? [Default: yes]:
- Enter yes to continue the procedure.
-
Press Enter to confirm.
After you have confirmed that you want to add storage, HCP Setup performs a set of installation prechecks.
Verifying correct menu Verifying system name Verifying run location Verifying running as install Verifying node connections Verifying SSH keys Verifying SSH Verifying systemwide SSH Verifying all network links Verifying software versions Verifying all nodes available Verifying upgrade state Verifying 64-bit hardware platform Verifying drive size Verifying disk space Verifying nobody using /fcfs_* Verifying nobody using /fs/* Verifying storage tiering service is disabled Searching for new storage volumes Verifying multcast enabled Found these new volumes: Node 001: 1. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:3 (500GB) 2. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB) Node 002: 1. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:3 (500GB) 2. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB) Node 03: 1. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:3 (500GB) Node 04: 1. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:3 (500GB) Is this correct? [y/n]: y
-
Enter y to verify the new volumes that
were found.
Typically this shows storage added to all nodes.(Optional) To configure a dedicated database volume, the volume size must be at least 50 GB and at least 1.5 times the size of the existing database for each node.All dedicated database volumes must be the same size. If you already have a dedicated database volume, any newly added dedicated database volume needs to be larger than the current one.
-
If HCP Setup asks whether you want to select
a dedicated volume for the database, perform one of the
following:
- If you do not want to select a dedicated volume for the database, enter no. HCP Setup formats and adds the new volumes.
During this process, HCP Setup reports on its progress.

To select a dedicated volume for the database,
enter yes.
Then complete the next substeps:
- To select a dedicated database volume for the first node, enter yes.
- If you entered yes, select the dedicated database volume for the first node.
- Press Enter to confirm your selection.
- Repeat the three previous substeps for each node in the system.
- If you do not want to select a dedicated volume for the database, enter no. HCP Setup formats and adds the new volumes.

After you have selected the dedicated database volumes for each
node, HCP Setup confirms your selections then
asks if you want to continue the procedure.
Enter yes to continue the procedure.
