Add a New Brick Storage Enclosure
Caution
While adding new Bricks, verify the status of each Brick as
the Brick is powered on to ensure that it has been added to
the Pillar Axiom 600 system configuration. Do not wait to
conduct the status checks after a few Bricks have been
added because doing the status check in a batch might
increase the possibility of bringing other resources offline.
Caution
While adding new Bricks, contact the Pillar World Wide
Customer Support Center to determine the location of the
system configuration database before disconnecting or
powering off any Bricks to avoid an emergency shutdown of
the Pillar Axiom system and subsequent data corruption.
1 Install the new Bricks in the rack.
2 Cable the new Bricks as described in the
Pillar Axiom 600 SSF Cabling
Reference.
You do not need to power down the Pillar Axiom 600 system to cable
additional Bricks.
Note: When adding additional Bricks, there may be changes in the existing
cabling of the Pillar Axiom 600 system. Refer to the
Pillar Axiom 600 SSF
Cabling Reference for more information.
The Pillar Axiom 600 Slammer and Brick ports and cables are:
● HSSDC
