Managing the Disk Array Using SAM

Most of the tasks involved in everyday management of the disk array can be performed
using SAM. Using SAM you can:

Check disk array status

Bind and unbind LUNs

Add and remove global hot spares

Note

Does it make any difference which controller I select when managing
the disk array?
When using SAM, you must select one of the controllers on the disk array you
want to manage. Typically you can select either controller to perform an
operation and the outcome will be the same. An exception is when you are
binding a LUN. The controller you select will be assigned ownership of the
LUN. To maintain I/O performance, you should divide the ownership of the
LUNs on the disk array between the two controllers.
