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 lvm2 [5.46 TB / 0 free]
PV /dev/sdg VG vg22d0827592e34a6b9cda1daa746ca4ba lvm2 [5.46 TB / 0 free]
. . . .
. . . .
To verify the vendor storage from StoreAll, run the following command to list the VS storage modules:
root@ib121-121 ~]# ibrix_vs -l
NAME HARDWARE_UNIT_TYPE
------------------------- ------------------
9730_ch_09USE127C72Y_vs1 9730
9730_ch_09USE127C72Y_vs2 9730
The first entry is the original 9730 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 HARDWARE_UNIT_TYPE SERIAL_NUMBER
--------------------- ------------------ -------------
9730_ch_09USE127C72Y 9730 09USE127C72Y
Import the new physical volumes into the StoreAll database
The new physical volumes must be discovered by the StoreAll 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 9730 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
