Add SSDs to a Drive Enclosure

To expand storage of an Oracle FS System, add SSDs to DE2-24P Drive Enclosures configured with SSDs.

Prerequisite:: You have identified a DE2-24P Drive Enclosure with available slots for adding the SSDs.

Unpack the SSD Expansion Kit.
Working with one SSD at a time, insert the SSDs into the available Drive Enclosure slots.
Accept the new drives into the system.
If you are using the GUI, complete the following steps:
1. Navigate to System > Alerts and Events > System Alerts.
2. Double-click the Foreign Disk Drive system alert.
3. Click Accept New Drives.
4. Click OK.
  The system updates the statuses of each new drive and automatically creates drive groups.
If you are using the FSCLI, complete the following steps:
1. Issue fscli system_alert –list –details to view the system alert for foreign drives.
  The alert displays the Drive Enclosure identifier and the foreign drives.
2. Issue fscli enclosure ‑modify ‑enclosure enclosure‑id‑or‑fqn ‑acceptDrive drive‑slot‑number [, drive‑slot‑number]....
  The system updates the statuses of each new drive and automatically creates drive groups.
As necessary, arrange the drive groups into the Storage Domains where extra storage is needed.
For more information about managing drive groups and Storage Domains, refer to Oracle Flash Storage System Administrator’s Guide and Oracle Flash Storage System CLI Reference.
