In the case of upgraded servers, Disk Manager will detect the new disk and ask you if you want to use the whole disk to increase Snare capacity. Click the submit (arrow) button and after a few seconds the disk will be ready for use.

Snare Disk Manager requires that the new disk does not contain any partition nor any filesystem to be correctly detected and used. In any other case the disk will be ignored. |
All new incoming data will be stored in the new disk and all previously existing data will remain in your old disk as read only.
It’s is possible to add as many disks in the future as the underlying hardware allows to but only the last disk will be writable while the others remain read only. So the advice is to add a new disk only when the last disk is reaching 80% of its capacity so its performance remains normal.
