1. Rack mount the New disk shelf (xx
TB)
Whenever
i have added a disk shelf i have taken the whole system down first as we are
plugging in SAS cables here - so i like to work on the safe side and this also
ensure the bus is fully scanned too.
2.
Connect the SAS cables from new Disk shelf (2*SAS IN) to the existing Appliance
disk shelf (2* SAS out ports)
3.
Power ON New disk shelf and wait for 10-20 mins to let initialize the disk
shelf completely.
Depending
on your configuration (Master/Media) (Advanced Disk Pool / Dedupe Pool) you'll
have the following partitions (volumes) available.
Advanced

Configuration
MSDP

Once
you add the new tray you'll get an extra disk (highlighted
below)
You can then
decide which partitions to increase.

Usually I prefer doing it from Web GUI
Ex:- manage >
storage > add unit_3 to grow your respective pool
