Need help adding raid groups (sasmgr)

[tan_andy]

HI All,

Would like to request for some assistance on the error I'm getting.

The machine already got an existing raid 1 group. We basically added 2 bnew disk.

What I'm trying to do, is create a new raid group (raid 1) with the new disks.

However, running sasmgr with the add command throws off device busy error. Do I need to create a new raid device?

Do I need to shutdown the system? Would appreciate any clues or help extended. Thanks!

Regards,

Andy

WARNING: If the disks are of different size,
then the remaining disk space of the larger disk
will be wasted and the volume cannot be expanded.

WARNING: Make sure that the disks are not being
used for BOOT, SWAP, DUMP, LVM, VxVM or any other

This operation will overwrite the data on the disks.
