system --add_storage --enclosure <service tag>

For more information about the required licenses, see system --show [--license] [--verbose] and system --license [--validate] [--add].

Note: The recommended process for adding an expansion shelf enclosure involves the following tasks:

Use the system --license [--validate] [--add] command to validate and install the license for the expansion shelf enclosure. For specific information, see system --license [--validate] [--add].
Power off (if needed) the Dell MD1200 storage array, physically connect the expansion shelf enclosure to the base DR Series system, and power on the expansion shelf enclosure.
Use the system --add_storage --enclosure <service tag> command .

Note: Each added expansion shelf enclosure must be equal to or greater than each DR Series system internal drive slot capacity (0–11). Because 1 TB drives are the smallest one supported by the expansion shelf enclosure you add, the 600 Gigabyte (GB) DR Series system needs to use 1 TB or larger sized drives in any expansion shelf enclosure added to the base system.

Note: To verify the current types of storage on a DR Series system, use the DR Series system CLI command: system --show --storage. For more information, see system --show [--storage].

Syntax

system --add_storage --enclosure CTKHVW1

Result

WARNING: IO to the box will be stopped during enclosure addition.

Do you want to continue (yes/no) [n]? y
Enclosure: "CTKHVW1" added successfully.

system --storage [--set_usage_alert <70% - 90%>]

Syntax

system --storage --set_usage_alert 90

Result

System storage usage alert has been set at 90%.

system --storage [--blink] [--type <internal | external>] [--service_tag <service tag>] [--disk <slot num>]

Note: The above options are only available on a Physical DR.

Syntax

system --storage --blink --type external --service_tag HCM0PT3

Result

Turned on blinking for all disks in enclosure "HCM0PT3".
