<h1 class="topictitle1">Checklist 4: Add a new I/O adapter</h1>
<div><p>This checklist shows the sequence of tasks that you use to add a new input/output
adapter (IOA) and new disk units to your system. Use this checklist if you
plan to protect some or all of the new disks with device parity protection.
You can use this procedure whether you have mirrored protection on your system
because you start device parity protection before you add the disk units to
a disk pool. If you do have mirrored protection and you are adding disks that
do not have device parity protection, you must add them in pairs that have
equal capacities. </p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you do not plan to start device parity protection for any of the
new disks, use the procedure in <a href="rzalycheck2.htm">Checklist 2: Add disk units without device parity protection</a> to add the new disks.</div>
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> When you perform the tasks in this checklist, the system
moves large amounts of data. Make sure that you have completely <a href="../rzaiu/rzaiuintro.htm">saved your system</a> in the
event that you need to recover from an error situation.</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Before you begin</h4><p>Print a copy of this checklist.
Check off the configuration tasks as you or the service representative perform
them. This checklist provides an important record of your actions. It may
help you diagnose any problems that occur.</p>
</div>
<div class="p">Most tasks in the checklist include links to other topics.
Refer to these topics if you need more information about how to perform a
particular task.
