Upgrading a Standalone Appliance to a Clustered Configuration (BUI)
1.
Connect the cluster cables between the standalone appliance and second
controller.
For cluster cabling details, see “Connecting Cluster Cables” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance
Cabling Guide.
2.
On the second controller, connect the power cables into power supply 0 and
power supply 1. Then connect each cable to the external power source.
The second controller powers on automatically.
3.
Connect the second controller to the disk shelves.
See the documentation that came with your appliance or refer to “Getting Started with Cabling”
in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Cabling Guide .
4.
On the standalone controller, go to Configuration > Cluster.
5.
Confirm that the communication links between the two controllers are connected
and active.
If three solid lines are not shown, ensure that the three cluster cables are properly connected and
secure in their connectors.
6.
Click SETUP.
7.
Enter the host name for the second controller and the same root password that
is set on the first controller.
Note - An initial cluster configuration setup can take several minutes to complete.

On the standalone controller, go to Configuration > Cluster and click the lock
icon for the management interface.
Locking the management interface to the controller will prevent a transfer of resources when a
failback occurs.

From the standalone controller, configure the management interface for the
second controller.
