EVA 5000 adding disk to disk gropu

nemanja.stosic — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:28:17 GMT

Hi
I have EVA 5000, with 107disks, we have space for 55 more. I have the disks, and i have added them. When i create new disk group with 55 drives, EVA put 49 in the new disk group. (disks are 147 GB) and leave 6 disks ungrouped.
The total capacity in the new disk group is 5256GB with protection level2, but usable capacity is 2047,99GB. Is this possible? I have then created two disk groups with 21 disk in each, and i have total capacity 2584 and available is in raid5 2047,99, this seems ok. So what should i do?

Thanks in advance Nemanja

Hi,
it always shows the max capacity of one vdisk which is limited to 2TBs in EVA 5k, so it is ok...
