Example of Choosing a Block Structure
Example Step 2: Eliminate Unsupported Enclosures
Consult your service provider about how many I/O enclosures are supported for the
RVU running on your system. This example assumes that you are reconfiguring a
NonStop Sxx000 system that supports 36 I/O enclosures, so you mark off the
unsupported I/O enclosures as shown.

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.
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.
