Enclosures From Another System
Because you have decided to add these blocks in the places shown, the blocks will be
assigned the following group numbers when you attach the blocks to your system:
Enclosures From Another System
To expand a system online when you are using enclosures that come from another
system:
To expand a system online when you are using enclosures that come directly from the
factory:
Block Structure Group Numbers
One I/O enclosure 14
One I/O enclosure 24
One I/O enclosure 34
One processor enclosure attached to one I/O enclosure 06, 61
One processor enclosure attached to one I/O enclosure 07, 71
Step For more information
1. Ensure that the system you are expanding
contains an adequate number of MSEBs.
Does Your System Have Enough MSEBs
and MSEB PICs? on page 1-3
2. Plan the procedure of removing enclosures
from another system.
Section 3, Planning System Reduction
3. Remove enclosures from the donor system. Section 4, Reducing a System Online
4. Expand the target system. Section 6, Expanding a System Online
