1.
Verify whether automatic drive assignment is enabled:
storage disk option show
If you have an HA pair, you can enter the command on either controller module.
If automatic drive assignment is enabled, the output shows
on in the “Auto Assign” column (for each
controller module).
2.
If automatic drive assignment is enabled, disable it:
storage disk option modify -node
node_name -autoassign off
If you have an HA pair or two-node MetroCluster configuration, you must disable automatic drive
assignment on both controller modules.
Install shelves for a hot-add
For each shelf you are hot-adding, you install the shelf into a rack, connect the power
cords, power on the shelf, and set the shelf ID.
1. Install the rack mount kit (for two-post or four-post rack installations) that came with your disk shelf using
the installation flyer that came with the kit.
If you are installing multiple disk shelves, you should install them from the bottom to the top
of the rack for the best stability.
Do not flange-mount the disk shelf into a telco-type rack; the disk shelf’s weight can cause it
to collapse in the rack under its own weight.
2. Install and secure the disk shelf onto the support brackets and rack using the installation flyer that came
with the kit.
To make a disk shelf lighter and easier to maneuver, remove the power supplies and I/O modules (IOMs).
For DS460C disk shelves, you can also use the four detachable handles that shipped with your disk shelf.
Handles (two on each side of the chassis) are installed by pushing up until they click into place. As you
slide the disk shelf onto the rails, detach handles using the thumb latch.
It is recommended that you use a mechanical hoist or lift if you are moving a fully loaded DS460C disk
shelf.
A fully loaded DS460C disk shelf can weigh approximately 247 lbs (112 kg).
