I took delivery of my new MDV today, and it hasn't taken long for my 1U server to reach 90% of maximum capacity. So I've just installed a new KDISC in the 4th slot and it's powered up with an amber light (the server was on when I installed the new disc). I see no extra storage come up in my UI home page. Is this a normal indication when you put a new disc in a 1U server (perhaps the array is being rebuilt with the 4th disc now in the equation)?, or should a new disc power up with a blue light?
I'm guessing it was an invalidated disc I put in the spare slot. I bought 3 discs, 2 of which was a file system and the other invalidated. 2 of the discs had a small green sticker marked with an M, and the 3rd disc didn't have the sticker. I'm guessing the discs with the green stickers are the file system, hence why I loaded the disc without the sticker into my server.
I'm still able to import from the MDV and play from the M300 at the same time, whilst the 4th disc has an amber light, so I guess that's a good sign?
