About detecting a new storage array enclosure

You can expand the storage capacity of the DL Appliance by adding an additional

storage array enclosure. Backup Exec automatically detects the new enclosure

and issues an alert when the following conditions are present:

■ The enclosure is configured in a standard configuration.

■ The DL Appliance uses the configuration policy called Automatic with

confirmation.

Backup Exec creates and configures virtual disks for each disk group it detects in

the new enclosure. Backup Exec then adds the virtual disk names to the All Virtual

Disks device pool. It also adds the names to the storage array that is found under

the Storage Arrays icon.
