Re: volume expansion



How big is each LUN in the storage pool (old & new)? I don't have anything concrete to base this on other than I think I saw it work this way when playing in the lab, but I think that XSAN will only add the smallest size of an existing stripe group's LUNs.

(for example, if you have a stripe group with 5 LUNs of 1TB each, then you add a sixth LUN of 1.5TB, you'll only get 1TB of the sixth LUN).

Best way to tell the size of the luns is probably to gather the number of blocks using cvlabel -l .

Hi,

Today I had an opportunity first time in my life to expand an Xsan 2 volume
by adding a new LUN into current storage pool. All went well except that
before the addition I had ~300gb free on my volume and I have added 2,73TB
LUN. But df -h shows only 2,4TB after the expansion. I'm wondering where
another 600gb gone missing? Maybe these lines in the logs are related?:

Group "Pool1" 161613356 free blocks in 8348149 fragments inserted.

Group "Pool1" 43967110 free blocks in 2700088 fragments ignored.


43967110 * 16KB ~ 600gb (???)
