Adding a path


Adding a path
Prev	Add and remove paths	Next

You might want to add a path when you add more disks to an array or to increase fault tolerance for the array.

To add a path to an array

Add the path by physically connecting a new cable.
To view the screen changes caused by the additional path, open the Disks folder in the tree view and select a disk. Then select the DMP DSMs tab in the right-hand pane.
Select Actions > Rescan from VEA.
DMP DSMs scans for paths and updates the screen, reflecting any changes you have made in the physical installation.

Note:

If a disk shares a path with another disk, then it must share all the same paths with the other disk. If a disk in the array does not share a path with any other disk in the array, then all the paths of the disk must not be shared with any other disk in the array.
