Add volume to exisiting Advanced Disk Pool

Adding volumes to an AdvancedDisk disk pool

You can expand a disk pool’s capacity by adding disk volumes to the disk pool.

The names of the new volumes must differ from the names of the volumes in the

current disk pool.

The NetBackup storage units that use the disk pool use the additional storage

capacity automatically. You do not have to change the storage units.

(By default, NetBackup automatically increases disk pool capacity if the capacity

of the underlying disk volumes increases. Similarly, NetBackup decreases the

capacity of a disk pool if the underlying disk volume capacity decreases.)

Table 5-1 Add volumes process for an AdvancedDisk disk pool

Task Procedure

See “Configuring an AdvancedDisk disk pool” on page 29.

Create a disk pool from the new disk volumes on the storage server.

When you merge the disk pools, specify the original disk pool as the primary one. NetBackup deletes the secondary disk pool after the merge.

See “Merging AdvancedDisk disk pools” on page 45.
