• Member space panel – Provides information about the member’
s storage capacity and how storage space is
allocated. Be aware of the following:
– Total member capacity does not include
the space in spare disk drives because the member uses spare disk
drives only if a failure occurs). Member capacity depends on the number and size of the installed disks and
the selected RAID policy.
– If free member space is low, you can increase the member capac
ity by a
dding disk drives, if empty slots are
available, or by replacing the current drives with higher-capacity drives. You can also add more group
members to increase overall group capacity.
