Add an Unconfigured Array to Group

Every unconfigured storage array that is added to the group must:
  • Use the same Layer 2 network as the group leader array
  • Run the same version of array OS as the group leader array
  • Use a compatible access protocol, one of iSCSI, Fibre Channel, or multi-protocol (both iSCSI and Fibre Channel access). All arrays in a group must use the same protocol.

If the destination group has a backup group leader array with a secondary management IP address, you will not be able to modify that IP address.

NOTE: You must use the group leader to add unconfigured arrays to a group.
  1. Discover non-member arrays.
    array --discover
  2. Add a discovered non-member array to the group.
    array --add array_serial_number
$ array --discover

$ array --add array-1
Enter array name:
Enter subnet label for NIC eth1: data1
Enter subnet label for NIC eth2: data2
Enter subnet label for NIC eth3: data3
Enter subnet label for NIC eth4: mgmt-data
Enter data IP address for NIC data1(172.16.32.0/255.255.224.0): 172.16.32.1
Enter data IP address for NIC data2(172.16.32.0/255.255.224.0): 172.16.32.2
Enter data IP address for NIC data3(172.16.32.0/255.255.224.0): 172.16.32.3
eth4 is configured for management only subnet, skipping.
Enter support IP address for controller A: 172.16.224.25
Enter support IP address for controller B: 172.16.224.26
