To add a new disk to your system

1. Install the new physical disk or disks.
2. From the Actions menu, select Rescan.

   On Windows Server operating systems, you also need to bring the disk online to make the disk accessible. To bring the basic disk online, right-click the disk to bring up the context menu and select the Online command.

3. After the operation is finished, the VEA GUI displays current information.

   If Storage Foundation for Windows does not detect the new disk, you may need to restart.

   A brand new disk has no signature or partition style. You can add a signature and partition style by using the Write Signature command.

   More information about partition styles is available.

   New disks are added to the computer as basic disks. You can upgrade new disks to dynamic disks at any time.
