cant add disks to rx6600

[Dave Chamberlin]

I have rx6600 with 4 internal disks configured in two volumes. I added 2 disks, and tried to create a new raid volume, getting: number of existing volumes is 2, max volumes supported per HBA is 2, failed to add volume. Can I change the number of volumes per HBA? Otherwise - how am i supposed to be able to add drives/volumes here? thanks

please refer the below link for getting information about the HBA you are having.

Do you use HP-UX?
Which kind of I/O backplane do you have -
PCI-X or PCI-Express?

I'm sure you have the default built-in SAS controller chip - this chip can mirror 2 pairs of disks, not more (per 8 disk group). All other disks can only accessed in direct mode.

I guess I can just use them directly. That should be ok. thanks
