Note:
If the drive shelf you are adding to the storage array has been previously installed in a
different storage array, contact technical support for assistance and instructions on reinitializing the
disks in the drive shelf for use in the new storage array.
Preparing to add a drive tray
Steps for preparing to add a new drive shelf (drive tray) while power is still applied to the other
components of a storage array.
Before you begin
Make sure that the power source for your storage array can accommodate the power requirements of
the new drive shelf (drive tray). Refer to the power specification for your drive shelf in the
Storage
Systems Site Preparation Guide. Make sure that the cabling pattern for the existing storage array
matches one of the applicable schemes shown in this guide.
Steps
1. Select Monitor > Health > View Health (Recovery Guru) from the Array Management
Window (AMW).
2. Select Monitor > Health > Collect Support Data from the AMW, complete the dialog box, and
select Start.
Support data is saved to the file that you specify in the dialog box. The data is not automatically
sent to technical support.
3. From the AMW navigation bar, select Monitor > Reports > EventLog .
4. In the Event Log window, select View Only Critical Events.
5. Review the system critical events for events that have occurred in the last two to three weeks, and
verify that any recent critical events have been resolved or otherwise addressed.
Note:
If unresolved critical events have occurred within the previous two to three weeks, stop
the shelf hot-add procedure and contact technical support. Continue this procedure only when
the issue is resolved.
6. Select the Hardware tab in the AMW.
7. For each drive tray in the storage array, select the View Tray Components link.
8. Select ESM Canisters from the Overall Component Information pane.
9. Confirm that the number of ESMs/IOMs detected matches the number of ESMs/IOMs installed in
the system and that for each drive shelf, both of the ESMs/IOMs show that communication is OK.
