Solved!
Go to SolutionDisk configuration on NS80
Hi all,
I have added 2 new clariion disks to our ns80 and after configuring them on celerra using "server_devconfig ALL" commands, i have run 'nas_disk -list' to get the list of all the disks.
You can see the output below.
1) Why for 2 newly added disks, it shows only 1 under servers columns?
2) Does that mean the disks are still not configured under server_3?

Thank you. I ran the cmd for server_3 and now the disks r configured for both the DataMovers.
But, y didn't server_3 picked up the disks earlier when i ran the same cmd specifying for all the DataMovers:
"server_devconfig ALL -c -s -d"786

Did you see any error message on server_3 (server_log server_3) after you ran the command? I prefer to run them one by one - so that I can ensure things are done properly. Also since we are configuring new device, I tend to use the -all option instead of -disk option.
Anyway - glad to know that you got it working - thanks to Sudhir for guiding you.

All the data movers including Standby one must be configured with the new disks.
So, it's very important to run the devconfig commands against all data movers including standby one.
"bishtsudhir" had already suggested you correctly to run the server_devconfig command on server_3 as well. I 'll add that you run a Probe first - then create - so the commands will be
$ server_devconfig server_3 -p -s -a
$ server_devconfig server_3 -c -s -a
Thanks,

Thanks a lot for heliping me.
-all?????
I always use '-disk' option. What would '-all' indicate???786

see "man server_devconfig"
The -all option permits all SCSI devices (disks and non-disks).786

For configuring new devices, you may use -all option inplace of -disk - it will do the same.
Thanks,
