Predefined storage configuration 05
Use predefined storage configuration 05 to implement a single blade server, one
SAS connectivity module, and up to two storage modules, each with up to six hard
disk drives. The blade server can access all hard disk drives in both storage
modules and all external ports on the SAS connectivity module.
This configuration has the following characteristics:
v
The blade server has access to all hard disk drives in both storage modules (for
a maximum of 12 hard disk drives if you are implementing both storage
modules).
v
The SAS connectivity module must be installed in I/O module bay 3 and
controls access to the hard disk drives in both storage modules.
v
The blade server has access to all external ports on the SAS connectivity module.
Note: This configuration maps the hard disks to the blade servers and the blade
servers to the external ports on the SAS connectivity module. You will need to use
the LSI Configuration Utility, MegaRAID Storage Manager, or ServerGuide to set
up mirroring.
