interface (CLI). Refer to the:
■
SANscape User’s Guide for the inband setup procedures
■
SANscape CLI User’s Guide

SANscape Software Installation Guide. This guide provides installation instructions

6.2.3 Other Supported Software
Multipathing for the SANnet II 200 SCSI array is provided by SANpath software.
Multipathing software is required when you have multiple connections from a server to
an array (directly or through a switch), want to avoid a single point of failure, and are
setting up a configuration with redundant pathing. Multipathing software makes
multiple paths between the server and the storage system and provides full services on
each path for path failover.
Refer to the appendix for your host and to the release notes for information about
which versions of SANpath software are supported on your platform.
For information about additional supported or provided software, also refer to the
release notes
.
6.3 Battery Operation
The battery LED (on far right side of the controller module) is an amber LED if the
battery is bad or missing. The LED is blinking green if the battery is charging and is
solid green when the battery is fully charged.
6.3.1 Battery Status
The initial firmware screen displays the battery status at the top of the initial screen
where BAT: status displays somewhere in the range from BAD to ----- (charging), or
+++++ (fully charged).
For maximum life, lithium ion batteries are not recharged until the charge level is very
low, indicated by a status of -----. Automatic recharging at this point takes very little
time.
