Added Blocks: Tetra 16 Topology, X Fabric
Worksheet 5
Shade in the enclosures, ports, and slot numbers that are in use in your current configuration.
You can now see the available locations and group numbers for added enclosures.
With a highlighter or a pen of a different color, circle where you will add the enclosures.
Note. If your target
system is a Tetra 8
topology with the
maximum number
of enclosures
attached, you
cannot expand it
online. You must
reconfigure it as a
Tetra 16 topology
offline.
Note. This
illustration shows the
maximum possible
number of I/O
enclosures. Your
service provider can
tell you the number
of I/O enclosures
supported by the
RVU running on
your system.
