Having said that, generally speaking from an ESXi host point of view, the Thunderbolt interface is just seen as an extended PCIe bus. If you look on VMware's HCL, you will not find any supported Thunderbolt Storage devices nor are there any that are being actively tested with ESXi, at least as far as I know. This is especially interesting for folks running ESXi on an Apple Mac Mini due to the limited number of IO connections the Mac Minis' have. Once you created your new array and logical drive, proceed in copying the data from your backup.A question that I frequently receive is whether ESXi supports Thunderbolt-based storage devices.
Once the Pegasus unit has booted, proceed in configuring a new array and logical drive.ħ.
After the unit has been shutdown, proceed in installing the new physical drives.Ħ. You can also open a Terminal session (OS X):Ĥ. You can shut down the Pegasus unit by accessing the Pegasus Utility or accessing the CLI (OS X). After the data has been successfully copied to the destination volume, unmount the volume and shutdown the unit.ģ. Execute a backup of the data from the Pegasus volume to another destination volume.Ģ. Promise recommends to execute the following when upgrading the physical drive capacity on a Pegasus R(x)/Pegasus2 R(x)ġ. Therefore, you will not see an increase in the logical drive’s size after you’ve successfully rebuilt the previous drive’s sequence to the new drive. If you replace a drive that has a larger space capacity, the drive will reduce its capacity to the smallest drive in the array.įor example, if you have a Pegasus2 R4 with 4 X 2TB drives and replace only one slot with a 4TB drive, the drive will actually allocate and equate to 2TB as the other three slots are configured with 2TB drives in the array. If you’re inquiring about upgrading the storage capacity for an array, you should purchase and replace each drive with the same capacity per each physical drive slot. In addition, Promise recommends that the drives that will be utilized have been cross-referenced with our Pegasus Compatibility List found on our Promise Support Site. The storage capacity can be increased by purchasing higher capacity physical drives. Increasing the Storage Capacity on a Pegasus R(x)/Pegasus2 R(x) Series
