Hi Nithya,
I just reminded about your previous e-mail which left me with the impression that old volumes need that.
This is the one 1 mean:

Our main volume has consisted of two 60TB bricks on each of the cluster nodes. As we reached capacity on the volume we needed to expand. So, we've added four new 60TB bricks to each of the cluster nodes. The bricks are now seen, and the total size of the volume is as expected:
