I currently have a rx2660 server connected to a MSA30 array, with 5 disk in a Raid-5 config.
OS is HP-UX 11iv2.
I have added 3 additionals disk drives to the MSA30.
# saconfig /dev/ciss1

Re: Add disks to MSA30 w/Raid-5 (HP-UX 11i)
Expanding the Capacity of an Array
saconfig /dev/cissX -E
This is done by the SmartArray, then you can create new logical drives and add them to the LVM filesystem.

Re: Add disks to MSA30 w/Raid-5 (HP-UX 11i)
Expanding the Capacity of my Array does not work :
saconfig /dev/ciss1 -E 0 -p 1:5
saconfig (/dev/ciss1): Error - FW command bad status (CHANGE_CONFIGURATION)
saconfig (/dev/ciss1): One or more fields in command have invalid data, cmd_status=4
saconfig (/dev/ciss1): Current driver state is READY
I had try this :
sautil /dev/ciss1 reset_ctlr
But it change nothing.
Any idea ? Disks are still in UNASSIGNED status...
Thanks in advanced

Re: Add disks to MSA30 w/Raid-5 (HP-UX 11i)
Driver is up to date, but firmware not : I'm not familiar to EFI shell.
My problem is that i don't know how to change directory to the CDROM or USB drive ?
Can you help me ?
