8 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
Storwize V5030F control enclosures support only the attachment of Storwize V5030F
expansion enclosures (Models AFF and A9F). Storwize V5000 expansion enclosures (Models
12E, 24E, 12F, 24F, and 92F) are not supported with Storwize V5030F control enclosures.
Storwize V5030F expansion enclosures are only supported for attachment to Storwize
V5030F control enclosures. Storwize V5000 control enclosures (Models 12C, 24C, 112, 124,
212, 224, 312, and 324) do not support the attachment of Storwize V5030F expansion
enclosures.
Table 1-5 shows the 2U expansion enclosures and 5U expansion enclosure mix rules. Shown
are the maximum # of Drive Slots per SAS expansion string without disks in the controller
itself.

The Storwize V5030 systems can be added to an existing IBM Storwize V5000 Gen1 cluster
to form a two-I/O group configuration. This configuration can be used as a migration
mechanism to upgrade from the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen1 to the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2.
