Working on latest 4.1.1.4 code and after expanding storage pool once new nodes were added everythign shows up fine, but our containers (after doing UPDATE on them), won't allow us to see the additional storage. ?? Only creating a new container will? Isn't there a way to increase a container size without needing to create a new one? Or is the UPDATE button in PRISM supposed to do but not working now?

You are right.
Container will show Allowed maximum capacity which will be lesser than Max capcity of Storage pool and it depends upon the RF set for the cluster.

Nevermind. with 2F replication, container only showing half of the new amount. Customer had forgot what it was before.. As far as i remember, container will only show useable space based on replication factor...

Anybody correct me if I am wrong.

So we had 26TB storage pool now and containers are ~13TB.

Thanks
