Steps to upgrade MD3000i from simplex to duplex

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Dell PowerVault MD3000i it came with a single array controller, I have bought a 2nd array controller and now need to add it to the MD3000i. I have plugged it in with the hope that the 2nd array controller would be picked up by the MS3000i and that I would be able to then configure the ip addresses but this is not the case. Does anyone know how I can configure the ip addresses on the new enclosure and copy the configuration (disk setup) from the existing controller to the new controller?

Adding 2nd array controller

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
