HP StoreOnce 4500 and 4700 Capacity Upgrade Booklet

6. Once the discovery process is complete, run the following command in order to format the
storage LUN with file system segments:
hardware add storage
This command will expand the filesystem to use the storage. The process can take a long time
to complete and the new capacity will not be available until it is finished.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at this stage the user waits until Parity initialization is
complete for all discovered enclosures before running the hardware add storage command.
Doing so significantly reduces the overall time for parity initialization to complete.
7. Monitor the expansion using the following command:
system show status
This command will return either of the following after an add command has been sent:
• Adding X,XXXGB...
• Formatted XXGB
NOTE: The following output is an example; the values shown may not match your appliance
specific values. Look for the Formatted information under Status to confirm that the expansion
has completed.
