internal management of enclosure components.) If the disk enclosure is configured for split-bus operation, the both the even-numbered slots and the odd-numbered slots are assigned IDs of 0 - 4. • When viewing status information for the disk array, you may also see the disk enclosure number and slot number displayed. These parameters identify the physical location of the disk module within the disk array. The disk enclosure number is assigned during installation using the disk enclosure ID switches located on the rear of the enclosure. Each disk enclosure in the disk array must have a unique enclosure ID number. Disk enclosures should be numbered from the top down, with the enclosure mounted highest in the rack being 0. The slot number indicates the physical enclosure slot in which the disk module is installed. This number is related to, but is not the same as the disk SCSI ID. Slots are assigned SCSI IDs differently depending on whether the disk enclosure is configured for full or split bus operation as described above. Figure 86 illustrates the four components involved in disk module addressing. Increasing LUN Capacity The capacity of an existing LUN cannot be increased dynamically. If you need a larger LUN, you must unbind the LUN and then rebind it using more or larger disks. This requires you to back up any important data on the LUN, and then restore the data once the new, larger LUN has been bound. Managing Disk Array Capacity 245 Managing the Disk Array on HP-UX

internal management of enclosure components.)

If the disk enclosure is configured for

split-bus operation, the both the even-numbered slots and the odd-numbered slots are

assigned IDs of 0 - 4.

•

When viewing status information for the disk array, you may also see the disk

enclosure number

and

slot number

displayed. These parameters identify the

physical location of the disk module within the disk array.

The disk enclosure number is assigned during installation using the disk enclosure ID

switches located on the rear of the enclosure. Each disk enclosure in the disk array must

have a unique enclosure ID number. Disk enclosures should be numbered from the top

down, with the enclosure mounted highest in the rack being 0.

The slot number indicates the physical enclosure slot

in which the disk module is

installed. This number is related to, but is not the same as the disk SCSI ID. Slots are

assigned SCSI IDs differently depending on whether the disk enclosure is configured for

full or split bus operation as described above.

Figure 86

illustrates the four components involved in disk module addressing.

Increasing LUN Capacity

The capacity of an existing LUN cannot be increased dynamically. If you need a larger LUN,

you must unbind the LUN and then rebind it using more or larger disks. This requires you

to back up any important data on the LUN, and then restore the data once the new, larger

LUN has been bound.
