VNX5200 file pool extension

Hello,

I have a file pool based on 4 x LUNs from 2 x classic RAID groups. The RAID groups are RAID6 (6+2) with 1.2TB SAS 10k disks.

Can I create a new RAID group with RAID5 and NL-SAS 4TB disks, create 2 x LUNs on that RAID group, map it to ~filestorage and expand the existing file pool with them? Or is there a limitation to use only RAID6, same as the existing LUNs?

for NL-SAS disks the recommendation is to use RAID6

besides you would probably then end up with the LUNs in different system pools

see the VNX PDF manual about managing disks with AVM for more details
