B.5.1.1

Enabling JBOD Support

To monitor peripheral device conditions and events on a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD
array from SANscape, you first need to enable JBOD support. See “Enabling SANnet
II 200 FC JBOD Array Support” on page B-10
for the procedure for enabling JBOD
support.

B.5.2

SANscape Alert

SANscape Alert supports standalone JBOD arrays. However, triggered event
notification is limited to environmental failures and hard drive failures.

B.5.3

SANscape CLI

The SANscape CLI supports JBOD arrays. However, because JBOD arrays do not
have a RAID controller to manage the disks, this support is limited to the following
commands:

about

download pld-firmware

download ses-firmware

exit

help

quit

select

show access-mode

show configuration

show enclosure-status

show frus

show inquiry-data

show pld-revision

show ses-devices

version

Refer to the SANscape CLI User’s Guide for information about using these commands.

B.6

Setting the Loop ID on a SANnet II 200 FC
JBOD Array

When a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array is directly attached to a host, unique, hard-
assigned loop IDs are assigned to each drive in the JBOD array. A loop ID is the
decimal version of an AL_PA. The lowest number loop ID is the lowest priority
address on the loop.

An ID switch on the left front side of a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array, underneath the
left chassis ear, is used to set loop IDs for the disk drives to different ranges of values.
