DDVE Filesystem expansion
Hi, I am testing the filesystem expansion feature on DDVE, however I am unable to expand. The storage is being added to the active tier successfully however, when I attempt the expansion using either GUI or the CLI, it fails expansion at 5% Once the expansion is failed, it is removing the newly added storage from the active tier.
sysadmin@ddve01# storage show all
Active tier details:
Device Device Device
Group Size
----------- ------ ---------
dg0 3 200.0 GiB
(available) 4 200.0 GiB
----------- ------ ---------
Spindle Devices Count Total Size
Group
------- ------- ----- ----------
1 3-4 2 400.0 GiB
------- ------- ----- ----------
Current active tier size: 0.3 TiB
Active tier maximum capacity: 0.5 TiB
sysadmin@ddve01# filesys expand
The filesystem will be expanded approximately by 199.72 GiB.
Are you sure? (yes|no|?) [no]: yes
ok, proceeding.

Thank you Shourya, I have followed the above steps but still got that error message. I have performed a reboot of the appliance and then was able to add to the tier and expand.
