Nytro XD Configuration : Adding or Removing a Logical Drive

Adding or Removing a Logical Drive

You can add or remove a logical drive (VD) if it is not being used by any application.

*

Linux specific

*

On adding an already partitioned VD, Nytro XD automatically creates the device node entries for the partitions under /dev/mapper.

*

If you create a partition on a VD that is already added into Nytro XD, you must explicitly run kpartx/partprobe to create the corresponding device node entries for the partitions under /dev/mapper.

*

On removing a VD, Nytro XD automatically removes all of the device node entries under /dev/mapper that correspond to the partitions on the VD.
