NS20FC/CX3-10, max drives
Hi,
According to the NS20 Component Overview:
Up to five additional optional DAEs; each DAE can hold up to 15
disk modules
According to the CX3-10F manual:
The CX3 model 10 can be configured with 5 to 60 drives, so a total of 4 trays.
The backend of the NS20FC is a CX3-10FC, can we expand this NS20 with an extra tray or is this not supported?
Regards,
John

also see the DART release notes - you need 5.6.39.5 and a min Flare:
NS20 90-drive support
® Service Taskbar Release 28 is also required as part of the
ADD-A-DAE procedure.
With the upgrade to FLARE® Release 26.016, the NS20 platformsupports adding up to 90 drives as part of the configuration.

Hi,
sorry for the confusion. The NS20 uses a custom CX3-10f
The NS20 started with max 60 drives and was later in the product cycle extended to max 90 drives - so on a NS20 you can, on a standalone CX3-10 you cant

Thanx,
customer is running DART version 5.6.43 and an upgrade has been scheduled to upgrade to 5.6.47.11.
Backend is still running 3.24 so this needs to be upgraded to 3.26 to suppor the 90-drive's.
Thanx for your help
