Is this possible with the version of firmware I am running or will there be later firmware on the new enclosure which would cause problems?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionBut you must be aware that XCS 09006000 is currently unsupported and has known bugs. Also, the I/O modules on the enclosures you have now will not have lastest firmware (0073).

Re: EVA4400 adding drive enclosure online
I have seen both these documents but I was unsure about adding extra shelves with old firmware. Is the IO module firmware (0073) an extra firmware install or is this part of the XCS bundle?
I realise we are on an unsupported firmware version but we have had no major problems with 09006000. We are waiting for the release of 0953000 as I have read of so many issues with earlier versions.

Re: EVA4400 adding drive enclosure online
After that everything is running good, you can do an online enclosure extension. Prepare good for cabling-diagrams about the correct loops with the new config.
While upgrading monitor command view EVA constantly. If the new Enclosures are not able to give you detailed info, you must reset the I/O module by Serial or reset it through putting the module out en in. The reset by serial is quicker.
If the new loop is up en no issues been seen, you can do the second loop.
Also before extension, make a complete Capture of the config and set the disk-replacement time out at 5 min (change it after the extension to default 1 min). Also check the Add Disk Policy, this must be on manual.

Re: EVA4400 adding drive enclosure online
Unfortunately we are not prepared to do an XCS version upgrade until the latest (and hopefully greatest) version is released.
We want to do an online upgrade as we are at capacity of the existing 5 shelves.

Re: EVA4400 adding drive enclosure online
By "online" I am refering to installing an additional M6412A Enclosure.
We are not prepared to upgrade the XCS at all to the available version. We are awaiting 0953x
