Adding the disk space of an Expansion Storage Shelf from the Access Appliance shell menu
The following procedure describes how to add new storage shelf disk space to an Access 3340 appliance from the Access Appliance shell menu. The steps may differ based on the Access Appliance release version. Starting with version 8.0, you cannot scan the storage after connecting a storage shelf if the cluster is not configured. During the cluster configuration, the storage is automatically scanned and you can view the disk space in the Access Appliance UI. If you add a storage shelf after the cluster is configured, run the system storage-scan command from the Appliance shell menu to detect and add the disk space.
For 7.4.3.x or earlier versions, the following procedure shows how to add the disk space for a newly added storage shelf.
