What happens to a Servers capacity when a Disk Cartridge is added?
When adding a Disk Cartridge to a Server, the amount of storage realized depends on 1) the capacity of the newly installed Disk Cartridge compared to the capacity of the drives already in the array, and 2) whether or not the Server is a 3U Server. A 3U Server behaves differently than a 1U or 5U Server because of its Hot Spare Disk Cartridge. For 1U and 5U Servers, if the newly installed Disk Cartridge is no larger than the largest drive already incorporated into the array, the Server’s storage increases by the size of the newly installed Disk Cartridge. If the newly installed Disk Cartridge is larger than the largest drive already incorporated into the array, a portion of its capacity will be allocated to additional parity information. For example, a 5U Server with seven 500 GB Disk Cartridges has 500 GB allocated to parity information. If a 750 GB Disk Cartridge is added to this array, 250 GB will be allocated to additional parity and 500 GB will be used to increase capacity of the Se
