Storage Tasks

The Storage Tasks pages only appear when the advanced management module is installed in a BladeCenter unit that also has storage components or certain types of I/O modules installed.

Select a component from the Storage Configuration section to view and modify its storage configuration settings. These settings are available only when a storage device is installed in the BladeCenter unit; if no storage components are installed, the Storage Configuration section are not displayed.

To change the zone configuration for an installed I/O module, click on its link. This will take you to the page you can use to manage the configuration for I/O modules and the optional SAS RAID feature.

When both RAID and non-RAID storage modules are installed, only one module can be powered-on at a time and have its zone configuration managed. If multiple SAS modules are installed and both are working, make sure that the default setting is used to apply the same zone configuration to each SAS module. To apply different zone configurations, use the separate zone configuration tables for the SAS Modules.
