Adding fifth disk to 1050 Nodes | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
I added a 1TB disk to each of my 1050 nodes. I followed the guide and added them correctly. Just noticing that in hyper-v though it still shows the 6th disk as completely free. It's offline and added as a pass-through like the other 5 disks are to the CVM.

I followed page 134 of the Platform_Administration_Guide-NOS_v4_0.pdf. I only have a single storage pool so it looked like it added them automatically to the correct storage pool ids. I just want to make sure it's added right.



How do I set the Location so it's the correct slot too? I wasn't able to see that. Here's the output of my ncli disk list

btw, if I try to add them again they say duplicate ID so I know they're added.
So diskpart looks normal today. Guess it needed to balance the disk.



Is there anyway to set this as slot 6 for the location attribute of ncli disk list? Other than that everything looks correct.

Add the disks to the pool using the "add-all-free-disks" ncli option....

ncli> sp edit name=storage_pool add-all-free-disks=true ID : 724 Name : storage_pool Disk Count : 24 Disk Ids : 34, 35, 32, 33, 36, 13, 14, 15, 15674, 17, 15675, 16,18, 15678, 15679, 15676, 23, 15677, 25, 24, 27, 26, 28, 31 ILM Threshold : 50% Max Capacity : 17.89 TB (19,672,034,533,360 bytes) Used Capacity : 82.74 GB (88,845,451,264 bytes) Free Unreserved Capacity : 11.87 TB (13,052,529,261,552 bytes) Verify that the Disk IDs in Description section are all present and added to the correct pool ID (see previous command output): nutanix@NTNX-2-CVM:172.X.X.207:~$ ncli disk ls | grep -B 4 -A 6 172.X.X.211 | grep ID Disk ID : 15674 Storage Pool ID : 724 Disk ID : 15675 Storage Pool ID : 724 Disk ID : 15676 Storage Pool ID : 724 Disk ID : 15677 Storage Pool ID : 724 Disk ID : 15678 Storage Pool ID : 724 Disk ID : 15679 Storage Pool ID : 724nutanix@NTNX-2-CVM:172.X.X.207
So the disks are all added to the pool correctly already. I have 2 issues. Location should be 6 and the 4.0.1 GUI under hardware-diagram doesn't show the disk listed either but it shows everywhere else.

Shawn, I see a support case opened for this issue and it has been resolved. Please email me at jerome@nutanix.com, if there are some items pending. I spoke with Rodney as well.
Nope, I'm all good. Thanks for following up.
