Upgrade Disks in a Thin Volume TVS-472XT

[obiwanKenobi]

I think I am past this step since all the disks have been replaced (I pulled each one individually and replaced it and let the system rebuild)

The disks in this screen shot are all the new 4Tb ones (replacing 2Tb)

I think I am past this

The disks in this are already the upgraded ones that I pulled individually and replaced one by one allowing the raid to rebuild in between as I said here

Just to confirm I am going to pull Disk 1 and replace with a new hard drive
Once I do that the QNAP settings panel will offer me an option to replace the missing drive with the new one and expand the pool

So the drives now in use are the larger 4Tb drives (up from 2Tb)

No, you are still not past this step, you need to hit expand capacity (as said multiple times now)

[obiwanKenobi]

I believe I have now completed the expanded capacity?

So I guess you hit expand in the window ?

[obiwanKenobi]

I thought that was what I had done
When I hid Expand Pool I get a screen offering options none of which have any available disks to allocate to expand

no .. as I said, hit expand under one by one dialog on the bottom (you posted a screenshot) .. not in the overview

[obiwanKenobi]

I see a larger available space

so you must have clicked it then .. now you can increase your volume size (if that is the goal)

Storage Pool: Manage
Manage: Replace Disks One By One

Expand Capacity is Greyed out
All the disks in the unit are the new 4Tb disks

[dolbyman]

it is greyed out now .. it is not in the above linked screenshot , so it must have been clicked

[obiwanKenobi]

Yes - that was taken prior to me pulling the disks 1 by 1 and replacing and allowing the raid to rebuild in between
Is there anything I need to do to increase my volume size or is that automatically taken care of

[dolbyman]

as said here

now that the pool is increased you need to increase the volume

[obiwanKenobi]

I know this may be obvious to you but it is not to me
At this screen

What do I enter
My intuition says 11.24 Tb?
If I select 'Select pool capacity it fills in 11330 Gb which seems like that is my max (which is what I want)
Thanks

[dolbyman]

Up to you what you enter, do you want to use the whole pool?, you want to leave some space for snapshots or ISCSI LUNs ? (watch the pool threshold otherwise the next question will be what the pool threshold warning is about)
