Eventually, the total size of the HDP pool volumes reaches the total size of the DP-Vols. If the NAS server storage pool (span) needs more space, you can add space to it.
You can add as many HDP pool volumes as you want; however, you typically only need to add a small amount of space.
Note: See the CLI man pages or the
Command Line Reference for detailed information about commands.
-
Add the new pool volumes to the original pool.
-
If the new total capacity of the pool volumes exceeds that of the DP-vols, add more DP-vols to the same
HDP pool.
Note: Make the new DP-Vols the same size and number as you originally created. All stripesets must be the same.
-
Wait for formatting to finish.
Otherwise, the file systems may auto-expand onto the new storage and find it so slow that the entire span fails.
-
If new DP-vols were created, use the
span-expand command to expand the span on to the new DP-Vols.
