How do I extend an existing storage pool?
Simple question, just dont know where to find the answer. I'm not even sure what document to look into to find it. EMC setup the array and the original RAID 5 groups and the original storage pools. I now need to expand. New disks have been ordered and are ready to be inserted into the array.
Please advise.

There is no separate steps to extend the storage pool - you simply need to follow proper steps to configure the RAID groups and LUNs on the backend as per supported configuration and present the same to Celerra and on Celerra Web Manager - run the Rescan option under Storage. The newly configured space will be automatically added to the respective storage pool - say for 4+1 FC RAID 5 - the space will go to clar_r5_performance pool as so on.
So - it's important to know whether you have integrated NAS or Gateway (or FC Option enabled) NAS - for integrated NAS you need to run the setup_clariion -init script to configure the additional disks - but for FC enabled or Gateway models, the RAID Group, LUN and storage group configuration needs to be done on Navisphere first.
You may refer to the following link and get more details and steps for each type of backend -

Yes, the pools are labeled something like r5_performance
