Array Expansion

I am planning to expand my existing cx3 40c with a new dae and additional disks to the existing free slots.

Has any one done this recently?

If so what methodology did you use.

Was down time required.

Does each storage processor need to be rebooted.

Did you use the USM. Was it a good way of manageing the expansion.

Any input would be appriciated

OK. Now for the disks inside the 2 DAE.

I am planning on instaling

DAE 1 -  RAID6 (6+2) plus 1 Hot Spare. (SATA)

DAE 2 - RAID5 (4+1) plus 1 Hot Spare. (FC)

I will not be mixing the disks

Guidelines for creating RAID groups

Any other advice?

If that's all the drives you have than that layout is good.
