Add Additional Drives to an M-Series Appliance

Install the new drives in the appropriate drive bays.
Make sure to add the drives sequentially in the next open drive bays. For example, add drives to B1 and B2 before adding drives to C1 and C2.
Access the command line interface (CLI) on the M-Series appliance.
Connect to the M-Series appliance in one of two ways:
Connect a serial cable from your computer to the Console port and connect to the M-Series appliance using terminal emulation software (9600-8-N-1).
Use terminal emulation software (such as PuTTY) to open a Secure Shell (SSH) session to the IP address of the M-Series appliance.
When prompted, log in to the appliance.
Use the default administrator account and the assigned password.
Configure each array.
The time required to mirror the data on the drive may vary from several minutes to a few hours, depending on the amount of data on the drive.
The following example uses the drives in bays B1 and B2.
Enter the following commands and confirm the request when prompted:

> 
request system raid add B1  
> 
request system raid add B2  

To monitor the progress of the RAID configuration, enter the following command:

> 
show system raid detail 

When the RAID set up is complete, the following response displays:
