Hello Community, hope you are all doing well.  

We have 8 NX-3155G-G6 nodes and Each node has 4 x 8TB HDD and 2 x 3.84TB SSD.

We would like to add new disks to expand to storage Capacity. 
After checking this link , we noticed that there are 6 empty drive slots on each node and it is not clearly specify how to fill them (please have a look on the picture below).

What are the possible layouts to add new disk to populate the empty slots ?

 Thanks in advance.

Normally you just contact your Nutanix sales representative and buy new disks. Then you insert the disks in the nodes and you are done (storagepool will automatically expand). 

 

But this is a G6. I can assume it has the portfolio 1 license and so you need to do some more work (license based on flash capacity). 

 

Long story short, contact you sales rep to help you out.
