When expanding a VMAX All Flash 250 from a single V-Brick to a dual V-Brick configuration, it is important that the cache size of both V-Bricks is equal. This ensures balanced performance and proper workload distribution across the system. This is a fundamental requirement for maintaining optimal performance in dual V-Brick configurations.
VMAX All Flash arrays will use a single RAID protection scheme for the entire system. The specific protection scheme is determined by the initial usable capacity of the system. All follow-on capacity and brick additions will use the same RAID protection scheme as the initial usable capacity regardless of the drive size used by the additional flash capacity pack
