Adding an expansion enclosure to an existing system

When you add an expansion enclosure to an existing system, you must use the Storwize management GUI to update the system configuration.

The management GUI requires a supported web browser (see Checking your web browser settings for the management GUI).

To add an expansion enclosure to your system, complete the following steps.

  1. Install support rails for the new enclosure.
  2. Install the new enclosure in the rack.
  3. Connect the expansion enclosure attachment cables.
  4. Connect the power cables and wait for the SAS light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to illuminate.
  5. Start the management GUI.
  6. Go to Monitoring > System.
  7. On the System page, select Actions > Add Enclosures.
  8. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions.
