Getting Started With the Nytro XD Solution : Adding or Removing a Virtual Drive

Adding or Removing a Virtual Drive

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

*

Linux specific

*

On adding an already partitioned VD, the Nytro XD solution 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 the Nytro XD solution, you must explicitly run kpartx/partprobe to create the corresponding device node entries for the partitions under /dev/mapper.

*

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