addcontrolenclosure

Use the addcontrolenclosure command to add control enclosures to the system.

Syntax

addcontrolenclosure -iogrpio_grp_id_or_name -sernumenclosure_serial_number [ -site { site_name | site_id } ]

Parameters

-iogrp io_grp_id_or_name
The I/O group in which you want to put the control enclosure.
-sernum enclosure_serial_number
The serial number of the control enclosure you want to add.
-sitesite_name | site_id
(Optional) Specifies the numeric site value or site name of the new control enclosure. The site can be set to a value of 1 or 2 only.
Note: The site that is assigned to a control enclosure cannot be changed if the topology is hyperswap.

Description

Use this command to add a control enclosure to the system.
Note: Transparent cloud tiering can be enabled on a system if every node on the system supports it. If a system supports transparent cloud tiering, you cannot add nodes that do not support it to the system.

Compressed or thin-deduplicated volumes can be added only to systems in which all nodes support deduplicated volumes. You can add only nodes that support deduplicated volumes to a system that contains compressed or thin deduplicated volumes. Nodes can be added only to a system that contains compressed or thin deduplicated volumes if that new node can support the amount of memory that is allocated for data deduplication in the target I/O group.
