Douglas, so you can add additional storage to the VSA? If I load it under a server that has lets say 1 TB of available space will it be recognize? How does the VSA sees the space, meaning as what type of raid?
Also, what is the diff between the EMC VSA and the Uber version?
If you add an second vmdk it should automatically add the storage. I wasnt seeing the storage being added and it looked like the disks didn't signature. I found this out by going back through chads video on how to add storage manually. here
The difference between the celerra VSA and celerra VSA uber is just a far more refined, and updated VSA really. Best place to look is here Nick has done a great job of detailing the changes. I certainly have seen a vast improvement in responsiveness since the earlier versions.
When you add storage it automatically creates the RAID type for you. I cant remember of the top of my head whet levels it places the disks at.

Managed to figure out the issue. I had to sign the drives with the command server_devconfig server_2 -a -c -s

Hi Paul,
Yes with the VSA you can add additional storage.
If you add an second vmdk it should automatically add the storage. I wasnt seeing the storage being added and it looked like the disks didn't signature.
I found this out by going back through chads video on how to add storage manually. here

Hope this helps
