4. Select the option , Create a new virtual disk
5. Leave things as below
6. Create 100GB disk , DO NOT check allocate space now, select split disk.
7. Browse and make sure the path given is correct and give an appropriate name.
8. Now you can see the new disk added
9. Login to the server with root credential and check fdisk -l to see the current disks.
10.Run the below queries to re scan the target and get it added.
Query1 : grep mpt /sys/class/scst_host/host?/proc_name
Output would be like : /sys/class/scst_host/host2/proc_name:mptspi <host2 will be variable>
Query 2 : echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scst_host/host2/scan
Then check the disk status using : fdisk -l.
In the below example you can see new disk as /dev/sdb
Wola. .you have added 100 GB successfully to the server....
