NOTE: The recommended process for adding an expansion shelf enclosure involves the following tasks: • Use the system --license [--validate] [--add] command to validate and install the license for the expansion shelf enclosure. For specific information, see system --license [--validate] [--add]. • Power off (if needed) the Dell MD1200 storage array, physically connect the expansion shelf enclosure to the base DR Series system, and power on the expansion shelf enclosure. • Use the system --add_storage --enclosure command . NOTE: Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal drive slot capacity (0-11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest one supported by the expansion shelf enclosure you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series systems need to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf enclosure added to the base system. NOTE: To verify the current types of storage on a DR Series system, use the DR Series system CLI command: system --show --storage. For more information, see system --show [--storage]. Syntax system --add_storage --enclosure CTKHVW1 Result WARNING: IO to the box will be stopped during enclosure addition. Do you want to continue (yes/no) [n]? y Enclosure: "CTKHVW1" added successfully. system --storage [--blink] [--type ] [--service_tag ] [-disk ] Description Turns on an LED that is used in locating a specific physical disk or data storage expansion shelf (using the system -storage command) in the DR Series system. Select from the following DR Series system CLI command options: • --blink: turns on LED on the physical disk or expansion shelf to identify it. • --type : identifies storage as an internal physical disk or external expansion shelf. • --service_tag : identifies physical disk or expansion shelf by its unique service tag. • --disk : identifies the disk slot number (if no disk slot is defined, it globally affects all disks). NOTE: There is a counterpart to this command, in which you can turn off the LED that aids in locating the physical disk or expansion shelf. For more information, see system --storage [--unblink] [--type ] [-service_tag>] [--disk ]. Syntax system --storage --blink --type external --service_tag HCM0PT3 Result Turned on blinking for all disks in enclosure "HCM0PT3". 79

NOTE:
The recommended process for adding an expansion shelf enclosure involves the following tasks:
•
Use the
system --license [--validate] [--add]
command to validate and install the license for the expansion
shelf enclosure. For specific information, see
system --license [--validate] [--add]
.
•
Power off (if needed) the Dell MD1200 storage array, physically connect the expansion shelf enclosure to
the base DR Series system, and power on the expansion shelf enclosure.
•
Use the
system --add_storage --enclosure <service tag>
command .
NOTE:
Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal
drive slot capacity (0–11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest one supported by the expansion shelf enclosure
you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series systems need to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf
enclosure added to the base system.
NOTE:
To verify the current types of storage on a DR Series system, use the DR Series system CLI command:
system --show --storage
. For more information, see
system --show [--storage]
.
Syntax
system --add_storage --enclosure CTKHVW1
Result
WARNING: IO to the box will be stopped during enclosure addition.
Do you want to continue (yes/no) [n]? y
Enclosure: "CTKHVW1" added successfully.
system --storage [--blink] [--type <internal | external>] [--service_tag <service tag>] [--
disk <slot num>]
Description
Turns on an LED that is used in locating a specific physical disk or data storage expansion shelf (using the
system --
storage
command) in the DR Series system. Select from the following DR Series system CLI command options:
•
--blink
: turns on LED on the physical disk or expansion shelf to identify it.
•
--type <internal | external>
: identifies storage as an internal physical disk or external expansion shelf.
•
--service_tag <service tag>
: identifies physical disk or expansion shelf by its unique service tag.
•
--disk <slot num>
: identifies the disk slot number (if no disk slot is defined, it globally affects all disks).
NOTE:
There is a counterpart to this command, in which you can turn off the LED that aids in locating the physical
disk or expansion shelf. For more information, see
system --storage [--unblink] [--type <internal | external>] [--
service_tag>] [--disk <slot num>]
.
Syntax
system --storage --blink --type external --service_tag HCM0PT3
Result
Turned on blinking for all disks in enclosure "HCM0PT3".
