Adding a Virtual Drive to a Drive Group

You can add virtual drives to an existing drive group provided sufficient storage space exists in the current virtual drives of the drive group.

Perform the following steps to add a virtual drive to an existing drive group:

  1. Navigate to the Controller dashboard, and click a drive group name (for example, DG_1).
    In the right pane, under Actions, the Add Virtual Drives option appears.
  2. Click Add Virtual Drives.
    The Virtual Drive Settings window appears.
  3. Specify the settings you want for the virtual drives you want to create.
    See Adding Virtual Drives for details on creating virtual drives.
  4. Click Add Virtual Drives.
    The newly created virtual drive gets added to the selected drive group.
  5. (Optional) If the drive group was created using a secure virtual drive, select Element(s) Actions > Secure to secure the drive.
