VNX file extend block mapped pool

Question

I am trying to extend Mapped FILE_cl-GFFF3_p1  File pool on VNX. This is what I am planning to do. - Create 10 LUN's  in BLOCK POOL FILE_cl-GFFF3_p1 and add them to ~filestorage group with HLU greater than 16. - rescan storage on NAS - At this point I am unsure if I have to run nas_pool -xtend for the pool to show up new space in FILE_cl-GFFF3_p1. # nas_version 7.1.76-4 [nasadmin@IL06VNX10CS0 ~]$ nas_pool -size -all id           = 42 name         =

This is what I did:

Expanded Block Pool(FAST) in Unisphere. Selected recommended disks by Unisphere that tries to match up Raid groups types with existing RG's in pool.

Created LUN's in Block pool.

Added LUN's to ~filestorage group with HLU's greater than 16.

Scanned server_devconfig server_x -c -s -a # This scanned new disks and automatically added to existing Block Mapped File-pool.

Extended File system.

Thanks.
