Adding physical drives to an
existing configuration
You can add physical drives (also
called logical drive migration or LDM) to dynamically modify an existing array
and its logical drives. To add physical drives, you might want to review the
following information:
The Main Tree displays only Ready
drives that are at least the same size as the smallest physical drive
in the selected array. The system icon is the root of the Main Tree. From the
root, the tree expands in the following order:
- Controller
- Physical drives
- Channel
- Drive
The Main Panel (that is, the right
panel) displays a tree with the selected array. This tree
shows the following:
- The selected array to which you
are adding physical drives.
- The physical drives already existing
in the array (labeled as Online).
- Any physical drives you have
added from the Main Tree (labeled as New Online).
