Enclosures
Storage Management enables management of various enclosures and their components. In addition to
managing the physical disks contained in the enclosure, you can monitor the status of the fans, power
supply, and temperature probes in an enclosure. You can view these components by expanding the
controller, connector, and enclosure objects in the Storage Management tree view.
Storage management allows hot plugging of enclosures. Hot plugging is defined as the adding of a
component to a system while the operating system is still running.
NOTE: This feature requires that the physical devices connected to the controller have the latest
firmware. For the latest supported firmware, contact your service provider.
After you hot plug or hot reconfigure an enclosure, refresh the left tree to display the change in status
and configuration; a system reboot is not required.
NOTE: Storage Management does not allow hot removal of enclosures. Reboot the system to effect
this change in Storage Management.
Storage Management notifies you of enclosure status changes through alerts that are displayed in the
Alert Log.
