    You would provision new disk/s to all nodes in the cluster. You would then have to configure a new disk group to use the disk/s. PureDisk is not cluster aware as such, so it will use /Storage mount point on all active nodes. However, VCS is configured so that no two service groups can run on the same node (PD=1), so the mount point conflict should not be a problem.

    When you add a new node, a new service group will be created, using the new disks. You have to select the various roles the new virtual node should have (e.g. CR, MBE).
