Hot-Adding Disk Shelves to NetApp AFF/FAS - IOM12: Notes

on

I've hot-added many NetApp disk shelves to NetApp systems in the past.

IOM12 shelves are a little bit new to me, and whilst I didn't expect the procedure to be any different to what it was with IOM3/6, it is always worth checking the documentation:

https://docs.netapp.com/platstor/topic/com.netapp.doc.hw-ds-sas3-icg/GUID-4990436E-CF0A-4A23-8AB7-A6D8409B3C6D.html

Everything is well detailed in the documentation and I might make some notes from it later.

Questions that should be asked:

  • Type of shelf?
  • Racked? Powered?
  • Site Address?
  • Cables availability?
  • Contact / Remote Support/ Hands on Site?
  • Datacenter access requirements?
  • Shelf IDs?
  • Engineer login?
  • Disk assignments?
  • Any other work required? (e.g expanding aggregates)
