I think he's wanting to add several FC shelves, starting with address 1, to an already existing FC adapter, hot. Add & configure shelves, or at least the first one, turn on adapter, away you go, filer doesn't hiccup (gulp!). I've also added shelves hot when there's already at least one up, but haven't tried what he has in mind - if I understand 'the plan' properly.

Hot adding ds14 shelves not only works, it's supported and documented by NetApp. I've installed many a shelf live, on 9x0 filers and R200 systems.
