Add a Storage Expansion Shelf to an Existing System

Use this procedure to add a storage expansion shelf to an appliance system that is
already running.
This task assumes that you are adding a storage expansion shelf to an already
running Oracle Database Appliance (must already have a fully populated storage
shelf).
Unless noted, it is not necessary to shut down your system to complete this task.
Please note the following exceptional conditions:
• The storage expansion shelf normally sits at the bottom of Oracle Database
Appliance, beneath the storage shelf. However, since racks should always be
provisioned from the bottom up, that space might be unavailable. In these cases,
to avoid re-rackmounting the entire system, it can be placed above the server
nodes, or even in a different rack.
• The Top Level Identifier (TLI) on the storage expansion shelf will not match the
rest of the system as described in
adding a storage expansion shelf after your initial purchase and setup of the
appliance is a supported configuration.
Install the storage expansion shelf as described in
