View Slot Occupancy Report
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The View Occupancy Slot Report task allows you to view empty and occupied
slot details of the selected enclosure. It provides a diagram that represents the
occupancy of physical drive slots. Move the mouse over each slot to view
details, such as physical disk ID, state, and size.
Identifying an Open Connector for the Enclosure
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
If you have not yet attached the enclosure to an open connector, you may
need to identify a connector on the controller that can be used for this
purpose. To identify an open connector:
1
Expand the Storage Management tree view until the controller object is
expanded. When the controller object is expanded, the tree view displays
the controller’s connectors. These connectors are numbered starting from
zero.
2 Identify a connector that is not attached to storage. If the connector is
already attached to storage, then the
Connector object can be expanded
to display an enclosure or backplane and the attached physical disks. A
Connector object that cannot be expanded in the tree view is an open
connector not currently attached to storage. Storage Management displays
a number for each connector. These numbers correspond to the connector
numbers on the controller hardware. You can use these numbers to
identify which open connector displayed in the tree view is the open
connector on the controller hardware.
Checking the Enclosure’s Temperature
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
To check the enclosure’s temperature:
1
Expand the tree view until the Temperatures object is displayed.
2 Select the Temperatures object. The temperature reported by the
temperature probe is displayed in Celsius in the
Reading column in the
right pane.
