Hi Guys
i need some help expanding an existing array
I have a Dell PowerEdge 530 running TrueNAS attached to a PowerVault MD3060e. It has 60 x 6tb disks and we have a single ZFS pool. Its all working well but i need to expand it even further. I have another PowerVault MD3060e spare and 60 x 10tb disks on the way
The first PowerVault has two controllers in it with two ports each. Each controller has a single connection to a SAS card on the PowerEdge.
If i am joining the additional PowerVault do i connect the 2nd PowerVault to the controllers on the first (essentially daisy chaining them) or does each PowerVault connect directly to the server
Also, PowerVault 1 has 6tb disks and PowerVault2 has 10tb disks, do they need to be in separate pools or can i just add the additional disks to the existing pools without losing the additional capacity of the disks
Sorry for the crude drawing but might better explain what I'm trying to archive. Any help would be apricated
