Adding new hard disk to 7200 and tunesys

Hi.

I have a 7200 with 52 900GB 10K hard disks, the average of disk occupation was 62%, all volumes are thin provisioning with total of 24TB (used capacity), the CPG Allocated Capacity is 25TB.

On last Wednesday I installed new 20 900GB 10K hard disks. After install HDs, I executed tunesys with default options and today it has completed the process but the allocate percentage is 89% and some of disk have 99%

The volumes/CPG and thinly provisioned volumes now graphs shows 50TB of space occupied. 

I don't understand this situation, I supposed when I add new hard disks the data split across all disk distributing all of information.

Was there any output from tunesys?

Of what command?  How about for your new disks, are they 0?

Thank you for your attention.

 

After reviewing all configuration and remembering the task I did, the problem is that all of the GPC change RAID 5 to RAID 1.

 

After installing the hard drives, I can change the speed to 10K rpm from automatic  in CPGs because I read this best pactice before running tunesys, and I don't know if I change or not the type of RAID RAID 1 (default) to RAID 5 (existing)

 

Now the tunesys is running again.

 

Thank you very much
