Hello @Asef23,
Yes, it should be possible. If you are using linier pools, then you can add space to your pool. If you are using virtual pools, then you can’t expand & will need to remove the data & then create the size of the pool and restore the data back to the pool.
Regards.

Hi Diego,
I am using Virtual pools, so it's not possible to expand the pool? Any suggestions for the 8 disks i'm planning on do it?
Thanks
Best Regards,

Hello Asef,
Expansion of Virtual pool disk groups, except Adapt, is not allowed. You can add a new disk group to a vitual pool.
