5500 v3 without disks (V300R003C10 )

Hello User. we are reviewing your question and we will answer you shortly. Thanks.

Hi, friend.

As I know, if there is no coffer disk, the device can not be powered on.

If I buy new disks will I be able to make the storage functional? // Yes, you can buy the disks, then the storage will be functional.

Please note the type of the coffer disks must be the same.

Dear darek,
Have a good day.
After deploying the hardware, you need to initialize the system, including configuring IP addresses for the management network port of the original storage system, initializing the SSH service port, initializing the IBC account, clearing controller configuration information, and configuring new IP addresses for the management network ports on the switches and SSH login user information.
Here is how: https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1000069279/132a7515/initializing-the-system
Thank you.
