Using a long cable, plug one end into port P1 of I/O module B that was unplugged in the previous step and plug the other end into port P2 of I/O module B on the newly installed disk enclosure (2, Figure 11). In steps 3 and 4, connections to I/O module B are made first. However, either I/O module can be cabled first as long as the other I/O module ports are not unplugged until cabling is complete on the first I/O module and you have completed step 6. This enables the controllers to redundantly manage storage while the cables are briefly pulled and reconnected on one side. NOTE: With only one I/O module from the newly added enclosure cabled to the array, there will be HP P6000 Command View warnings that indicate disk drives in the system are only connected on one of the redundant loops. This is to be expected, and the warnings should clear as soon as the other I/O module is connected. 5. Once you connect one I/O module (for example, B), verify the status of the I/O module B ports and the presence of the newly added disk enclosures before you connect the other I/O modules (in this example, A). Failure to complete this verification could result in potential loss of data access for an extended period of time. Complete the following steps to verify: a. Open HP P6000 Command View. b. Navigate to the newly added disk enclosure within the Hardware folder in the navigation pane and select it. The Disk Enclosure Properties window opens. c. Select the I/O tab.

Using a long cable, plug one end into port P1 of I/O module B that was unplugged in the previous
step and plug the other end into port P2 of I/O module B on the newly installed disk enclosure
(2,

).
In steps 3 and 4, connections to I/O module B are made first. However, either I/O module can
be cabled first as long as the other I/O module ports are not unplugged until cabling is complete
on the first I/O module and you have completed step 6. This enables the controllers to redundantly
manage storage while the cables are briefly pulled and reconnected on one side.
NOTE:
With only one I/O module from the newly added enclosure cabled to the array, there
will be HP P6000 Command View warnings that indicate disk drives in the system are only
connected on one of the redundant loops. This is to be expected, and the warnings should clear
as soon as the other I/O module is connected.

Once you connect one I/O module (for example, B), verify the status of the I/O module B ports
and the presence of the newly added disk enclosures before you connect the other I/O modules
(in this example, A). Failure to complete this verification could result in potential loss of data access
for an extended period of time. Complete the following steps to verify:
