First, your default raid group size is set via `vol options vol0 raidsize N' where N is the size of your raid group. Then when you add disks to your volume the raid groups are built up to the raidsize. Once the raid group has reached raidsize, a new raid group will be created.
As far as mixing SCSI and FC-AL, I don't know...

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.
Can someone help?
Thank you. July
