Re: EVA3000 Expand Disk Capacity
1. there will be no perf degradation after the 2 new disks, only the RSS algorithm will add them to the existing RSSs, (2 of them could have 9 members or one 10 members).
2. The controller firmware upgrade disk firmwares upgrade included should be handled by local HP support team.

SolutionIf I remember correctly, you cannot SHRINK a virtual disk on an EVA3000 anyway, so it does not do any harm when you enter a smaller value than the current capacity (you just get an error message), but on a modern EVA you really, really can destroy data if you do not read the messages...

Re: EVA3000 Expand Disk Capacity
Yes. Even if you had a system that allowed a virtual disk shrink it WILL give you a warning and you have to confirm it.
I'll attach a partial screenshot with the error message from a system that does not allow a shrink.
You can add multiple disks at once to a disk group. Insert the disks one by one. Then go to the Disk Group's properties page and press [Add disks]. CV-EVA will show you how many disk drives you can add at maximum, but you can enter any value between 1 and the maximum (ok, I don't know what happens if you enter 0 or a negative value - anybody wants to try? ;-)

Re: EVA3000 Expand Disk Capacity
No you shouldn't have to represent the disk...
In order to get Windows to see the extra capacity you need to extend the file system with the DISKPART utility.

Re: EVA3000 Expand Disk Capacity
- Open the Windows Disk Management application (diskmgmt.msc).
- Right-Click "Disk Management" (on the left side in the console tree) and use "Rescan Disks".
- Now you should see unpartitioned space at the end of the expanded disk.
- If you have opened an RDP/Terminal Services session, you might have to logout and login again to see the result.
- Run DISKPART and extend the partion and file system as described in the MS knowledge base article.
- Enjoy the new free space ;-)
