Verify vendor storage
Run the Linux pvscan command on the expansion blades to verify that the operating system can
see the factory-provisioned preformatted segments (physical volumes):
[root@ib121-121 ~]# pvscan
PV /dev/sdh
VG vg7a32272126c746bfb7829a688c61e5b8
PV /dev/sdg
VG vg22d0827592e34a6b9cda1daa746ca4ba

To verify the vendor storage from IBRIX, run the following command to list the VS storage modules:
root@ib121-121 ~]# ibrix_vs -l
NAME
-------------------------
x9730_ch_09USE127C72Y_vs1
x9730_ch_09USE127C72Y_vs2
The first entry is the original X9730 system. The second entry is the new expansion module.
To verify the chassis registration, run the following command:
[root@ib121-121 ~]# ibrix_chassis -l
NAME
---------------------
x9730_ch_09USE127C72Y
Import the new physical volumes into the IBRIX database
The new physical volumes must be discovered by the X9000 software to make them available to
the cluster. On the GUI, select Storage from the Navigator. The Storage panel lists the physical
volumes included on the original X9730 system. Click Discover, at the top of the Storage panel,
to discover the new physical volumes.
Use the default options on the Discover Storage dialog box, and click OK.
The Storage panel now lists the original physical volumes and the newly discovered physical
volumes.
To discover the physical volumes from the CLI, run the following command on the active Fusion
Manager, specifying just the new blades with the -h option:
ibrix_pv -a -h ib121-123,ib121-124
