Predefined storage configuration 05

Use predefined storage configuration 05 to implement a single blade server, one SAS connectivity module, and up to two disk storage modules, each with up to six hard disk drives. The blade server can access all hard disk drives in both disk storage modules and all external ports on the SAS connectivity module.

This configuration has the following characteristics:
  • The blade server has access to all hard disk drives in both disk storage modules (for a maximum of 12 hard disk drives if you are implementing both disk storage modules).
  • The SAS connectivity module must be installed in I/O module bay 3 and controls access to the hard disk drives in both disk storage modules.
  • 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.
