IBM TotalStorage DS4300 Turbo, Installation, User'S, And Maintenance Manual

Page: 74 / 220

Important
1. The DS4300 single controller model 6LX/6LU does not support any
storage expansion enclosures. The DS4300 dual controller standard model
60U/60X supports up to three storage expansion enclosures by purchasing
up to three storage expansion enclosure attachment entitlements. The
DS4300 dual controller Turbo model 60U/60X comes with the entitlement
to support up to a maximum of seven storage expansion enclosures.
2. If you want to connect up to seven storage expansion enclosures to the
DS4300 dual controller standard model 60U/60X, you must purchase the
Turbo option or buy the seven enclosure attachment license. Furthermore,
to add storage expansion enclosure attachment capability to the DS4300
single controller model 6LX/6LU, you must either purchase the DS4300
controller upgrade to Turbo controller option or the DS4300 controller
upgrade to the standard dual-controller and up to three additional storage
expansion attachment entitlements. Contact your IBM resellers or
marketing representatives for more information.
3. You can add only new storage expansion enclosures to the initial/new
installation of the DS4300 storage subsystem. This means that there must
be no existing configuration information in the drives installed in the
storage expansion enclosure or the DS4300 storage subsystem that you
want to install. If the drives in the DS4300 storage subsystem or the
storage expansion enclosure that you want to install currently contains
logical drives or configured hot spares, and you want them to be part of
the DS4300 storage subsystem, refer to the IBM System Storage DS4000
Hard Drive and Storage Expansion Enclosure Installation and Migration
Guide . Improper drive migration might cause loss of configuration and
other storage subsystem problems.
4. In addition to the information and procedures in this chapter, you can also
refer to the IBM System Storage DS4000 Hard Drive and Storage
Expansion Enclosure Installation and Migration Guide for the latest
required controller firmware versions and the supported combinations of
enclosure types that you can intermix behind a DS4300 subsystem.
Note: You must purchase the IBM System Storage FC/SATA Intermix
premium feature to combine SATA enclosures (DS4000 EXP100s or
EXP810s with SATA enhanced disk drive modules) with fibre
channel enclosures (DS4000 EXP700s, EXP710s, or EXP810s that
have fibre channel drives) in the same DS4300 Storage Subsystem
configuration.
5. The EXP700 expansion enclosure must be upgraded to an EXP710
expansion enclosure by using the DS4000 EXP700 Models 1RU/1RX
Switched-ESM Option Upgrade Kit for intermixing with the EXP810
expansion enclosures. In addition, the DS4300 controller firmware must be
at 06.19.xx.xx or higher.
The following DS4000 storage expansion enclosure types are supported by the
DS4300 Storage Subsystem:
v DS4000 EXP700
v
DS4000 EXP710
v DS4000 EXP100
v DS4000 EXP810
