Changing Expansion Enclosure ID Numbers
When an MD1200 Series expansion enclosure is connected to an MD3200i
Series storage array for the first time, an enclosure ID number is assigned and
maintained by the expansion enclosure. This enclosure ID number is also
shown in the MDSM.
To change the enclosure ID numbers:
1 In the AMW, select the storage array, and select Storage Array
Change Enclosure ID.
2 Select a new enclosure ID number from the Change Enclosure ID list.
The enclosure ID must be between 0 and 99 (inclusive).
3 To save the changed enclosure ID, click Change.
Changing the Enclosure Order in the Physical Pane
You can change the order of the RAID controller modules and the expansion
enclosures in the Physical pane to match the hardware configuration in your
storage array. The Physical pane that initially is displayed is a default view
that may not match your storage array. The enclosure order change remains in
effect until it is modified again.
To change the enclosure order in the Physical pane:
1 In the AMW, select Storage Array Change Enclosure Order.
2 From the enclosures list, select the enclosure you want to move and click
either Up or Down to move the enclosure to the new position.
