Additional disks on existing pool Unity 300F
Hello,
I have a question about my raid configuration.
I currently have the Unity 300F with 9 Flash drives with usable capacity of 2.8 and 2.9 TB
These are all in one pool on Raid 5 with capacity of 21.9TB
I have ordered 5 more disks . Can I expand the pool or I need to create a separate pool with 4+1?
Kind Regards

All-Flash pools are usually Dynamic Pools, which are much more flexible than traditional pools. Check the properties of your pool to ensure it is dynamic. You should be able to expand the pool using those 5 new disks. Check the whitepaper:

Hello,
it is set as traditional by the previous administrator. So I guess I am unable to expand now?
Would 5 drives be ok to create another pool right?
