Hello: The filer in question is an inherited box, an F760 with two shelves of 9GB SCSI drives, one shelf of 9GB FC-AL drives all in one RAID and one VOL. The single VOL also contains the root, I think. I've heard that you are supposed to separate SCSI and FC-AL drives into separate RAID groups, but this is how the box came and we can't change it.
Anyway, my task is to add two shelves of 36GB drives to this unit. I know I need to create a separate RAID group for the 36GB drives. In the man pages I see instructions for adding disks to an existing volume and how to create a volume. I don't see anything that tells me how to create a new RAID group. I must be missing something obvious.
every volume is at least one raid group. raid groups won't contain multiple volumes, but volumes can contain multiple raid groups. when you create a new volume you create at least one new raid group. default raid group size is 14 disks, but you can force more ( up to 28 ) , do a vol create to get usage.
