Re: adding a disk to an Autoraid unit
slots go from A1;B1 to A6;B6, which makes twelve disks (12H)
So you have to replace a small disk with a larger one. Pull out the disk, wait for the array to rebuild and insert the new disk.

Re: adding a disk to an Autoraid unit
If you add the 18GB Drive to the array, you will gain about 18GB of space.

Re: adding a disk to an Autoraid unit
So from what A.Clay was saying I will get near enough the full 18Gb to use.

Re: adding a disk to an Autoraid unit
I have allocated the new disk space to a new LUN. I now want to extend a VG but the VG is a shared clustered VG (distributed). I have tried undistributing the VG but it says it needs to be deactivated first which means down time.
is there anyway to do this on the fly?

Re: adding a disk to an Autoraid unit
What do you mean by
"I have tried undistributing the VG but it says it needs to be deactivated first which means down time."
??
You can extend a VG when it is online using vgextend command
ex:
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx (path of the new lun)
vgextend vgname /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
However if you need to extend a LV or filesystem you need to have OnlineJFS in order to do it on the fly ..
