Hi
I am trying to expand a Storage Pool on a EMC VNX 5800 array. The existing Pool has 99 disks with a mixture of Flash, SAS and NL-SAS.
When I try to expand it (using Unisphere) it will not allow me to expand by adding the disk below:
• 5 Flash (RAID 4+1)
• 15 SAS (RAID 4+1)
• NL –SAS (RAID 6+2)
Is there any limitations on expanding Storage Pools with this version of VNX?
Many Thanks
