Adding new disks to Data Domain 2200

We are adding new disks to Data Domain 2200. After we added disks and then added the licenses.

We see all new disks as spare disks.

sysadmin@DD# disk show state

Enclosure Disk

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

--------- ------------------------------------

1 . . . s . . . s s s s s

--------- ------------------------------------

Legend State Count

------ ------------ -----

. In Use Disks 6

s Spare Disks 6

------ ------------ -----

Total 12 disks

How to make these spare to active??

Hi tooanand,

Were the disks you added used by this system before or another DataDomain system?

cheers, Rich.

Thanks for reply, I removed the disks and add it again and it worked.

It looks like we need to add the license before you add the disks, it worked on other DD 2500

Did you also need to do following?

destroy/recreate the filesys and rebuild the raid? if not what version of DDOS you are using?

I have the same scenario and I have been told to do following that I don't think is needed:

replicate the date to another system

destroy the filesys

rebuild the raid

create the filesys

Let me know please.
