Predefined storage configuration 02
Use predefined storage configuration 02 to implement up to six blade servers, two SAS connectivity modules, and up to two disk storage modules, each with up to six hard disk drives. Each blade server can access one hard disk drive in each disk storage module and all external ports on both SAS connectivity modules.
This configuration has the following characteristics:
- Each blade server has access to a single hard disk drive in each disk storage module (for a maximum of two hard disk drives if you are implementing both disk storage modules).
With this predefined configuration, blade server bays are mapped to hard disk drive locations in each storage module. The location of the hard disk drives in each storage module is important. For example, if you install a blade server in blade server bay 3, it can access only the hard drives located in hard drive bay 3 of each storage module.
- The SAS connectivity module in I/O module bay 3 controls access to the hard disk drives in disk storage module 1.
- The SAS connectivity module in I/O module bay 4 controls access to the hard disk drives in disk storage module 2.
- All blade servers have access to all external ports on both SAS connectivity modules.
Note
This configuration maps the hard disks to the blade servers and the blade servers to the external ports on the SAS connectivity module. You will need to use the LSI Configuration Utility, MegaRAID Storage Manager, or ServerGuide to set up mirroring.
