Enclosure And Backplane Properties
Table 26. Enclosure and Backplane Properties
Property Denition
ID Displays the ID of the enclosure or backplane.
Status
These icons represent the severity or health of the storage component. For
more information, see Storage Component Severity.
— Normal/OK
— Warning/Non-critical
— Critical/Failure/Error
NOTE: If the enclosure is connected to the controller in redundant
path mode (for more information, see Setting The Redundant Path
Conguration), the loss of connection to any one EMM may cause
the enclosure status to be displayed as degraded.
Name Displays the name of the enclosure or backplane.
State Displays the status of the enclosure or backplane. Possible values are:
• Ready — The enclosure or backplane is functioning normally.
• Degraded — The enclosure has encountered a failure and is operating in
a degraded state. This state does not apply to backplanes.
• Failed — The enclosure or backplane has encountered a failure and is
no longer functioning.
Connector Displays the number of connectors attached to the enclosures or
backplanes. This number matches the number connector on the controller
hardware. Depending on the controller type, the connector can be either a
SCSI channel or a SAS port.
Enclosure ID Displays the enclosure ID assigned to the enclosure by Storage
Management. Storage Management numbers the enclosures attached to
the controller starting with zero. This number is the same as the enclosure
ID number reported by the omreport command. For information on
Command Line Interface, see the Server Administrator Command Line
Interface User’s Guide.
Target ID Displays the SCSI ID of the backplane (internal to the server) or the
enclosure to which the controller connector is attached. The default value is
six.
Conguration Displays the mode in which the enclosure is operating. Possible values are:
• Joined — Indicates that the enclosure is operating in the joined-bus
mode.
• Split — Indicates that the enclosure is operating in the split-bus mode.
• Unied — Indicates that enclosure is operating in the unied mode.
• Clustered — Indicates that the enclosure is operating in cluster mode.
Clustered mode is only available on cluster-enabled RAID controllers. For
more information, see Background Initialization On PERC Controllers.
For more information on joined, split, and cluster modes, see the enclosure
hardware documentation. For information on how to cable the enclosure to
accommodate these dierent modes, see the enclosure hardware
documentation.
