Workflow notes
There are several different tools and utilities that impact the way you begin using
your IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Module.
For example, if you are using the IBM Storage Configuration Manager application
to configure your storage and data redundancies and maintain your firmware, the
steps you take to accomplish this are more automated than if you are using the
RAID Controller command line interface and, or the SAS RAID Controller
Firmware Update Package to do these things. However, despite the manner in
which you choose to accomplish your system storage configurations and
maintenance, the IBM BladeCenter S SAS RAID Controller Module enables you
configure your integrated storage solutions by performing the following:
v
Create storage pools
v
Define volumes for those pools
v
Receive Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) for those volumes
v
Map those LUNs to hosts (servers) contained in the IBM BladeCenter S chassis.
Important:
Before you begin the process of storage configuration, use the RAID
Controller command line interface to set up your email to receive system alerts
and log output.
