Configuring storage sleds in joined mode

In joined mode, the RAID controllers are mapped to a single compute sled. However, only one controller

is enabled and all the disk drives are connected to it.

Configuring storage sleds using CMC web interface

1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Server Overview and click a storage sled.

The details of the storage sled are displayed.

2. In the menu on the right side, click Setup.

The Storage Configuration page is displayed.

You can also access the Storage Configuration page by selecting a storage sled on the Chassis

Health page. Under Quick Links, click Storage Array Setup.

3. Under Components, select one of the following options:

• Split Dual Host

• Split Single Host

• Joined

NOTE: Power off the compute sled before configuring the storage sled. Click Server Power

Control at the top of the page to power off the compute sled. For more information, see the

Online Help.

4. Click Apply.

Configuring storage sleds using RACADM

You can connect storage sleds with compute sleds using the config or getconfig RACADM command

with the cfgStorageModule option. For more information, see the getstoragemoduleinfo section in

the

Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide

available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Managing storage sleds using iDRAC RACADM proxy

The iDRAC RACADM proxy feature enables you to manage storage sleds in the FX2s chassis through

iDRAC RACADM, when CMC is not in the network.

To access iDRAC locally, use the following command:

racadm <command> --proxy

Example: racadm getractime --proxy

You can also access the iDRAC RACADM remotely. For more information, see the section, “RACADM

Proxy”, in the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8 (iDRAC8) Version 2.10.10.10 RACADM

Command Line Interface Reference Guide.

NOTE: Only local and remote RACADM proxies are supported in this release.
