Query: extension of hpe 3par

[Merco-Dehors]

I'm working on a project to expand my hpe 3par storage system.
The existing system is described as follows:
- 1 HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8200, with two nodes (node0, node1)
- 5 disks enclosures or cage.

The wiring diagram is as shown in the attached image.

The project involves adding 4 additional cages.
As my system is in production and I don't want to disconnect any cables, I'm wondering if it's possible to wire LOOP B without moving the SAS DP1 and DP2 cables from cage 4 and cage 5 respectively. As the diagram below suggests.

Thank you for any answers.

Hi,

no, you have to disconnect the green cable and move to the last Shelves.

Red going down and green from last up.

But you can do it Online, I have done it so many times.

First, connect the new Shelf with red, wait, and then move the green down.

You find the way to do it in the Document, where you got this Screenshot.
