Zone the SAS storage by assigning hard disk drives to blade servers and blade servers to external ports on the SAS connectivity modules. If you are going to mirror drives between disk storage modules, consider assigning the same hard disk drive or hard disk drives in each disk storage module to a specific blade server, depending on your zoning configuration.
