Prepare the System for Cabling New Drive Enclosures

Cabling new Drive Enclosures in an Oracle FS System requires that you either take the system offline or prepare the system to prevent unnecessary Call-Home events.

Prerequisites:

The current version of Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) is installed on your client workstation.
The current version of Oracle FS CLI (FSCLI) is installed on your client workstation.

Note: If you plan to use Guided Maintenance when cabling the new Drive Enclosures, do not take the system offline.

If the plan is to take the system offline, use the GUI or the FSCLI to shut down the system.
1. If you are using the GUI, select Oracle FS > Shut Down.
  
  To verify the shutdown, navigate to Product > System Information. The status of the shutdown process is displayed on the System Information page.
2. If you are using the FSCLI, issue fscli system -shutdown.
  
  To verify the shutdown, issue the command fscli system -list and verify that the SystemStatus value is Shutdown.
If the shut down process fails, resolve the issues before proceeding.
If the plan is to keep the system in production, use the GUI or the FSCLI to disable Call Home.
1. If you are using the GUI, navigate to System > Networking and select Actions > Modify > Notifications.
2. Clear the Enable event triggered Call-Home check box and click OK.
3. If you are using the FSCLI, issue fscli call_home ‑modify ‑disableEventTrigger.
