Overview

To accommodate increased storage demands and to expand the storage pool available to the Oracle FS System, you can add Drive Enclosures to the system. You can combine additional DE2-24P Drive Enclosures and DE2-24C Drive Enclosures in the same system.

You can also expand storage by adding groups of six solid state drives (SSDs) to Drive Enclosures currently configured with seven SSDs (400GB or 1.6TB) or 13 SSDs (1.6TB).

Note: Adding Drive Enclosures requires planning and careful implementation. To ensure a trouble-free installation, allow the necessary time to develop a plan and double-check the resources available.

This document focuses on the installation of newly added Drive Enclosures and presumes that appropriate planning took place.

Note: Planning requires assistance from your Oracle Sales Engineer.

The output of the planning process includes a completed Oracle FS1-2 Expansion Planning Worksheet. The planning worksheet provides the details needed to order new Drive Enclosures and cables.
