After acknowledging the alert, the administrator determines that all of the allocated
RAID 5 storage (80 GB) for host l82ar134 is utilized and that an additional 80 GB of
RAID 5 storage must be allocated.
The following steps are required to allocate additional storage to the host:
◆ Determine if Storage is Available
◆ Start the Expand Storage Wizard
◆ Select LUNs to add to metaLUN (or create metaLUN)
◆ Review and Execute the Expansion
◆ Confirm the Allocation
Determining if storage is available
The administrator determines the LUNs accessible to the host by navigating, from the
Console tree, to hosts devices under the AIX host and dragging them into the
Relationship view. Figure 145 shows that host l82ar134 is connected to the CLARiiON
CX600 array and an existing metaLUN named LUN 15 META. The administrator will add
more storage to the host by adding LUNs to the existing metaLUN using the Expand
Storage Wizard.
