You can use Deploy CLI to add the disks.

Here is the command syntax to add the disk from the deploy CLI for a HA system.

(ONTAPdeploy) node storage pool attach -cluster-name Sanjeev -node-name Sanjeev-01 -capacity-limit 1TB -name datastore3 -mirror datastore4 -username admin -foreground

Password for admin:

[Request 50164 (success)]: Storage add for node "Sanjeev-01" in cluster "Sanjeev" completed successfully.

(ONTAPdeploy)

Arguments :

Cluster Name: Sanjeev

Node-name: Sanjeev-01

Capacity-Limit: 1TB (Size of the Disk )

Name: datastore 3 ( Name of the Datastore where the vmdk is being created)

Mirror: datastore4 (Name of the Datastore where the mirror vmdk is being created)

Username: admin

Password: ONTAP password.
