I have had a 7200 and a 7400 for approx. a year now and very satisfied - it performs so much better than our previous netapp (witch is crap).
I have added some new disks to existing shelf’s on both 7200 (NL disks) and 7400 (FC/SSD disks) - but it seems like my CGP's have not taken them in use yet..
Here is the steps I've taken:
added all the disks to the shelf's
I have activated the license on HP portal
And submitted the certificate it into IMC - so far so good.
From Here I was expecting the disk to be in use and that my 3PAR would start re-organize the data. as far as I remember this was what did happen last time I added new disks to the 3PAR.
To simplify Things I’m debugging on my 7200 as it only have 1 Tier of NL disks.
Before I had 24 3Tb disks and now I have added 12 more and 12 additional on my way - so total of 48 3Tb disks. At pressent there are a total of 36 Disks mounted and a total of aprox 98 Tb raw disk Space.
CPG_NL_R6 have a disk filter like this: -p -devtype NL
If I modify the CGP all disks (both old and new shows up in the disk view)
BUT the new disk show a status like "NEW" while the old have a status as "Normal"
This seems odd to me. If I take a look at allocated/Free Space on my CPG - I can see that these numbers have not changed since I added the disks - all my old disk are still at a usage at 94%.
I tried to run a TuneSys and a Compact CPG to see if that did any change - but no change detected.
I have attached a Picture of some views of interest
Is there a secret command to use to get my 3PAR to actually use my new disks?
