We have a Xsan volume consisting of 1 LUN made up of 3x400GB drives
in a RAID 5 configuration - ie a notional 800GB LUN. We would like to
add some additional space to this volume, and have installed 7
additional 500GB drives on the second controller of the Xserve-RAID.
To add this discs I believe we need to slice this second RAID set
into 3 833GB LUNs.
If I do this will these new LUNs be addable to the existing Xsan
volume? The documentation emphasises that the LUNs must be the same
size, but I'm sure at some Apple briefing I attended they mentioned
that LUNs greater that the original LUN size just lose the additional
space.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks
Duncan
