Verify and configure the new disks

About this task

Complete the following tasks to verify and configure the new disks.

Steps

  1. Run the filesys enable to command to reenable the file system.
  2. Run the enclosure show summary command to verify the Data Domain system recognizes the new disk shelf.
    NOTE This step is not required when adding a new disk pack to an existing DS60.
    • For a new DS60:
      # enclosure show summary
      Enclosure Model No. Serial No.      State  OEM Name OEM Value Capacity
      --------- --------- --------------- ------ -------- --------- --------
      1         DD####    <Serial#>    Online                    4 Slots
      2         DS60      <Serial#>    Online                    60 Slots
      3         DS60      <Serial#>    Online                    60 Slots
      --------- --------- --------------- ------ -------- --------- --------
      3 enclosures present.
      
    • For a new ES30:
      # enclosure show summary
      Enclosure Model No. Serial No.      State  OEM Name OEM Value Capacity
      --------- --------- --------------- ------ -------- --------- --------
      1         DD####    <Serial#>    Online                    4 Slots
      2         ES30      <Serial#>    Online                    15 Slots
      3         ES30      <Serial#>    Online                    15 Slots
      --------- --------- --------------- ------ -------- --------- --------
      3 enclosures present.
      
  3. Run the enclosure show topology command to verify there are two valid SAS paths to the new storage.
    NOTE This step is not required when adding a new disk pack to an existing DS60.
    NOTE Optionally run the enclosure test topology command to test each SAS path.
  4. Run the disk show state command to verify the system can see all the disks in the new enclosure. All the new disks should display in the Unknown state.
    • For a new disk pack in an existing DS60:
      # disk show state
      Enclosure        Disk
