Adding a Sun StorEdge T3 Workgroup or Enterprise Array

The following applies to when the Sun StorEdge T3 array is connected as a Fabric device (an array to a switch TL_port and a host port to a switch F_port). If Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager is enabled, refer to “To Configure a Fabric-Connected Device as a Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager Device” on page 101. If Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager is not enabled, refer to “To Configure a Fabric Device” on page 91.

Adding a Sun StorEdge A3500FC Array

Use the boot -rcommand after installing RAID Manager 6.22.1 and the first Sun StorEdge A3500FC array.

You can add additional Sun StorEdge A3500FC arrays without rebooting, but you must run the /usr/lib/osa/bin/hot_add command.
