A Lenovo Storage V5030 system can cluster with another Lenovo Storage V5030 system or with a Lenovo Storage V series system system. To add a second control enclosure to an existing Lenovo Storage V5030 system, you must first install it in the rack.
Then, you must connect it to the system through a zone in the SAN.
The
management GUI requires a supported web browser (see
Checking your web browser settings for the management GUI).
Note: You cannot cluster a second control enclosure
with a Lenovo Storage V3700 V2 or Lenovo Storage V3700
V2 XP system.

to an existing Lenovo Storage V5030 system, complete the following steps.
