Managing chassis storage

The enclosure provides shared storage with single or dual Shared PERC/Expander configurations. The Shared PERC
cards support Single Root Input Output Virtualization (SR-IOV) feature and enable the server modules to map to the local
storage through the PCIe switches on the enclosure system board. A server module can be mapped to either a single
Virtual Disk (VD) or multiple VDs that are located on the shared storage.
For more information on the Shared PERC cards, see the
