Adding Storage to an InfoScale cluster

Last published : Jun 12, 2026
After the existing storage is consumed, you can present new disks to the InfoScale cluster and increase storage capacity. However, these disks are not automatically discovered or added to the InfoScale cluster.
Note: You can always check the free size in the disk group after creating Volume Snapshot and Persistent Volume Claim Kubernetes objects. Run the following command. kubectl/oc describe infoscalestoragepool -n infoscale-vtas | grep Free
Prerequisites
  • InfoScale cluster must be 'Running'
  • Additional storage must be presented to the node and detected by the operating system.
Run the following command -
kubectl/oc annotate infoscalecluster infoscalecluster-dev infoscale.veritas.com/storage-scale-up='enabled'
To monitor progress, run the following command.
kubectl/oc describe infoscalecluster infoscalecluster-dev
