Adding new disks to live system with A1000

Hello Guru's,

I will be adding eight seagate 73gb disks to my A1000's (Dual-host system connected to two E450).

This system is live and as such I do not have any downtime. Using Veritas VM 3.01

Question 1: Is it okay to hot plug in these new disks when I/O activity is taking place ?

Question 2: Will RM automatically pick up these unassigned disks ? Reading the documentation the only thing to do is #/etc/bin/raid/healthck -a to check these disks.

Question 3: What are the best practices for adding disks to live systems (Full backups will be done) ?

Thanks and regards,

LC
