							Question about Adding Disks to a Disk Group...
						
					
					
				
			
		
	
			
	
	
	
	
	
			
				
					
					
						- I have 3 ungrouped disks.
- My default disk group is currently in Leveling State.
- It has only moved 1% in the last 24 hours.
Is is safe to group the 3 disks back into the disk group now?
Or should I wait till the current Leveling is 100%?
Please advice. Thanks in advance.

						Add them now. The leveling will restart from 0%.
Leveling is a low priority, non essential task, do not wait for it to finish.

						Hello,
leveling can be a time consuming process. It's done in background with a low priority. If the EVA is under load, leveling will take a lot of time. This can be days or weeks.
Regards,
Patrick
