Expanding Storage Capacity
(Scalability)

This chapter explains how to add one or more additional REO Appliance
appliances to expand the storage capacity in an iSCSI or FC
environment. If you are using the 12-disk version of the REO 9000 and
you subsequently purchased the additional 12-disk upgrade kit, it also
describes how to add the additional disks to the appliance.

Important:

If you purchased multiple units, set up (attach and

configure) one unit at a time. The target names must be unique within
a network; that is, if you are using multiple appliances, you must
change the default target names.

Setting Up Additional REO Appliances in

an iSCSI Configuration

1

Install, configure, and manage each REO Appliance that you purchased
using the same instructions provided for the REO Appliance that it
complements.

Using this method, you will have multiple, independent management
consoles.

2

Enable power to the first appliance and complete the configuration
process before enabling power to the next appliance, and so on.
