NonStop S-Series System Expansion and Reduction Guide

Checklist: Preliminary Procedures
Ensure that all system consoles you will use to
resize your system are running the appropriate
version of OSM or TSM client software.
If you are adding enclosures, roll them as close as possible
towhere you will connect them.
Label all ServerNet cables with tape marked X or Y so that you
do not cross-cable the fabrics.

Copy all worksheets and staple them together.
To add more than three enclosures, make more copies
of Worksheet 7: one extra for every two additional
enclosures.
To remove any enclosures, make more copies of
Worksheet 8: one extra for every enclosure.
To expand your system with enclosures removed from
another system:
Make an extra copy of Worksheet 1, and circle
Donor System at the top.
Make an extra copy of Worksheets 2.1 through 2.8, and
circle Donor System at the top.
Staple the Donor System worksheets into a packet separate
from the other worksheets.

If you are expanding your system, install enough
MSEBs to accommodate the number of enclosures
the system will contain after expansion.
