Pardon the IBM-terminology -- I have an N3600 A20 (ONTAP 7.3.1) and have acquired two EXN4000's to expand our storage capacity.
The N3600 A20 is currently configured as Active/Active with the existing set of 20 SAS disks.
I'm reading through the documentation on NOW[1] on hot-adding shelves and am running into a few questions:
- Is the EXN4000 the same as the DiskShelf14mk4? - How do I know if I have ESH2/ESH4 modules or LRC or ESH modules?
Also, the NOW documentation[1] refers to the Data ONTAP 7.3 Active/Active Configuration guide for hot-adding of shelves since we are using an Active/Active setup. I presume these are the insructions I need to use and not the normal hot-add instructions[1].
Anything else of note I should be aware of?
Thanks, Ray
