Add volume to exisiting Advanced Disk Pool
- 14 years ago
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.
