Hi all - pardon the noob question.

so if I wanted to add another SAS disk shelf to our 6280 what else would I need to do? From what I understand since we have premier support netapp tech would come in and add the disk shelf etc but then after that what would I need to do perform and actually have the ability to write data to it..?

My initital thoughts were:

Assign the disks to the controllers half to controller A and the rest to the other so it would be balanced? What else do I need to do or in a nut shell that is it? Of course I wish to do this non disruptively.

p.s. all the disk shelves are the same (24) 600GB SAS drives per shelf)

hints tips and worthwhile advice appreciated..

thank you kindly in advance.
