Simplify the process of adding new EXAStorage disks
- The preferred method of adding new disk space to a cluster node is a disk enlargement as described in SOL-177. But this method may not be available depending from the environment and configuration of the cluster.
- An alternative approach is the reinstallation of a cluster node, which requires to temporarily store its data somewhere else.
- A further approach is the addition of an EXAStorage disk as described in SOL-266. However, this process is complicated and requires to know the name of new disk devices beforehand.
We will improve the handling of method (3). See SOL-453 for details.
