SolutionYou shouldn't need to wait 5-10 minutes. Use command view to verify that each new disk has appeared in the "Ungrouped Disks" folder before adding the next disk.
Also, before grouping, I would suggest downloading the firmware bundle and verifying that the new disks are up to the latest firmware rev.
You may want to request that this topic be moved to the storage forum, as your question is really operating system neutral, and that's where the EVA experts hang out.

Re: installing new disks into a live EVA5000
As Jon says above that all looks fine. HP recommend waiting 2mins between insertions of disks but it is a good idea to check that they appear in CV as well.
On the f/w upgrade Jon is also perfectly correct. However, depending on what version of CV and VCS you are running you may not be able to do the disk drive code load (if required) on line. Therefore if you are going to do this it would be a good idea to code load the drives (if required) BEFORE you group them. If you have the ability to on-line code load them then it does not matter.
To check to see if you can code load the drives on line then all you have to do is select the "codeload" button from the top level CV screen. If you get a choice of either the ctrls or disks then you can do it. If not then code load the disk drived before you group them.
