Hi Experts,   I'm currently facing an issue with adding disks to my NetApp system and would greatly appreciate your help. Here is my current setup: NetApp FAS8300 system Firmware version: 9.11.1 Current disks: Aggregate 1 : 20 disks of 16TB in RAID-TEC Aggregate 2 : 20 disks of 16TB in RAID-TEC I have new 16TB disks that I want to add to my existing storage pool. However, I'm not sure of the exact steps to integrate these new disks optimally without disrupting my system's current operations. Here are a few specific questions I have: Are there any prerequisites or specific checks that need to be done before adding the disks ? What is the exact command to add these new disks to the existing storage pool ? Should I plan for a maintenance window or any downtime during the disk addition process ? Is it possible to mix disks of different sizes and, if so, what are the implications for performance and space management ? Any help or advice on the procedure would be greatly appreciated. If you have any experiences to share, that would be very helpful!   Thanks ... View more
