Adding disks to a VxFlex OS SDS
Before adding disks to a VxFlex OS SDS, you must verify the disk controller type
installed on the server. Depending on the type of controller card, you will:
l
HBA330 controller card: Retrieve the device paths.
l
H730 controller card: Create a virtual device (VD) on the disk.
Verify the disk controller type
Verify the controller type installed on a DELL PowerEdge server using the integrated
Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) web utility.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have access to:
l
The IP address of the BMC (iDRAC) port
l
The username and password for accessing the BMC (iDRAC)
The iDRAC is embedded in the DELL PowerEdge server and it functionally appears
between the server and the Ethernet network. The iDRAC enables you to deploy,
update, monitor, and maintain the servers with or without a systems management
software agent.
The server contains one of two types of controller cards:
l
HBA330 controller card: This server has only SSD.
l
H730 controller card: This server may have either only HDD, or a mix of HDD and
SSD.
Procedure
1. From your Internet browser, go to http://
<BMC/iDRAC_IP_address>.
2. In the DELL Console Login window, type the user name and password, and
click Login.
The Integrated Remote Access Controller screen appears.
3. In the navigation pane, select Storage
>
Controllers.
Controller-related information is displayed in the Health and Properties table,
with the controller type shown in the Name column.
For example:
PERC H730 Mini (Embedded)
After you finish
Depending on the type of controller card, you need to:
l
HBA330 controller card: Retrieve the device paths, as described in
paths in a Windows server with HBA330 controller
l
H730 controller card: Create a VD, starting by enabling the PERCCLI disk utility on
the server.
