D3610 Same Enclosure ID

[jchen522]

We just recently added another D3610 to existing DL360 G10

The original setup had one DL360 and one D3610 enclosure in a dual domain setup.

I shutdown both server and enclosure and added 2nd D3610 enclosure and cabled it the way for dual domain described in the manual. After power on both disk enclousres first, follow by server, both enclosures received ID 1 on the back of the unit. Is this correct?

I see in intelligent provisioning 1 logical dirve, 12 unconfigured drives, 24 physical drives, and  2 storage enclosures.

When I go into Disks Manager, I see total of 24 drives.  12 for the 1st enclosure and 12 for the 2nd enclosure, all shows offline plus the original logcal drive line created from the original 12 drives. 

Is this suppose to look like this?  Am I missing a software that I am suppose to install?

Controller card in DL360 is P408e-p SR

Also, is it possible to expand the original array so it utilized the 2nd encloure or it needs to be another array?

Thank you!

Looks like you have configured a Dual Domain Fault tolerance cabling. Please refer to the below cabling document:-

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c05105559#N101F3

The 7 segment displays the Enclosure number. Usually the enclosure number should be in sequence but if the fault tolerance cabling is done then the controller sees both the enclosure at the same time during discovery. You can test by performing a Dual domain best performance cabling and that should give you different ID in sequence.

So in Intelligent Provisioning>>Smart Storage Administrator.... You are able to see 24 Physical drive and 12 Unconfigured drives which makes sense as 12 unconfigured drives comes from the new enclosure counting out the initial 12 drives already configured Logical drive.

You can now either make a new Array and logical drive or depending on the controller check if it allows you to extend the logical volume by adding a drive.
