Shadowed multi-node expansion
Introduction
You can expand a shadowed Meridian Mail Modular Option EC
by several nodes at once.
Performing a multi-
node expansion on
shadowed systems
To perform a multi-node expansion on shadowed systems,
follow these steps.
Step Action
1 Install all the required hardware (that is, CEPS, Enhanced
MMP40 board, disk drives, and network cabling). Refer to the
appropriate figures to determine hardware requirements and
location.
For example, if you want to expand to a four-node shadowed
system, refer to the following illustrations:
• “Adding node 2 to a shadowed system” on page 14-21
• “Adding node 3 to a shadowed system” on page 14-24
• “Adding node 4 to a shadowed system” on page 14-27
Note:
Insert new hardware for expansion in slots as indicated
by the shaded areas ( ) in all the figures within this
chapter.
2 Follow the software steps outlined in the procedure for your
final node configuration.
For example, if your final configuration was a four-node
shadowed system, refer to “Three- to four-node expansion
(shadowed)” on page 14-27 and follow the software steps listed
there.
