Adding more disks to an existing pool failes
Hello
The system is VNXe3150 with 12Xsas 600GB 15K disks.
I've created a storage pool using all the disks.
Now i'm runni gout of disk space and I've bought a new disk-array enclosure.
In the new enclosure there are 10 identical disks ( sas 600GB 15K).
When i'm trying to expand the disk pool, i'm getting this message :
"There are not enough disks available for this storage pool. To continue, add more disks of the same type, capacity, and rotational speed."
What is the problem?

You are correct.
can I create a new pool and add it to my existing shared folder ( NFS )?

I see
That is a very poor design.
Thanks
