To add another control enclosure into an existing system, complete the following steps:

  1. Configure the Fibre Channel switch to allow for correct zoning between the control enclosures.

    The correct zoning provides a way for the Fibre Channel ports to connect to each other.

    If the configuration tool for the Fibre Channel switch does not provide details of the worldwide port names (WWPNs), use the service assistant to find them or use the USB flash drive to find the status of the node. See the "Troubleshooting" topic that is available from the Storwize V5000 Information Center.

  2. Start the management GUI.
  3. Go to Monitoring > System.
  4. On the System page, select Actions > Add Enclosures.
  5. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions.

This step completes the quick installation procedures. If you are setting up for the first time, see the configuring topics and continue to follow the tasks available in Getting Started from the management GUI. If you added another control enclosure into an existing system, continue to do your standard tasks.
