Manually Managed; Hba; Raid; Replacing Synergy Sas Storage Solution Components - HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Storage User Manual

It is important to note the following when adding drives to expand local storage:
•
Drives added to the storage module are not automatically zoned to compute module and remain
unassigned until added to a server profile.
•
Drives will be detected automatically in the composer.

Manually managed

A user can manually manage expanding local storage by doing the following:
•
Adding additional logical JBODs.
•
Using a local HPSSA tool to perform an array expansion and logical drive extension of existing
logical drives. Doing this will increase the number of member disks and extend the logical drive to
utilize the capacity of the larger array.

HBA

Add additional logical JBODs in HBA mode.

RAID

A user can expand local storage using the RAID mode by doing one of the following:
•
Adding additional logical drives.
•
Deleting an existing logical drive and creating a larger logical drive. This will backup and restore the
drive data.
