Component Numbering

Oracle FS Systems support two Pilots (Pilot-1 and Pilot-2). Additionally, Oracle FS Systems support two Controllers (Controller-1 and Controller-2) and 1 to 30 Drive Enclosures (DE-1 to DE-30).

The chassis ID number of the Drive Enclosure is based on the order by which the Controller identifies the Drive Enclosures. Drive Enclosures are also assigned a chassis ID number in the Oracle FS System Manager GUI that is labeled Enclosure Chassis ID. The chassis ID number can be changed using the GUI. The chassis ID number displayed on the chassis must always match the Enclosure Chassis ID displayed on the GUI.

Tip: The Drive Enclosure sticker on the back of the chassis must be removed once the Drive Enclosure is installed in the rack because the seven segment display is now the preferred method to identify the Drive Enclosure.

Tip: The chassis ID in the Drive Enclosure identification display always matches the ID shown in the GUI. Drive Enclosures are identified by the serial number and the World Wide Name (WWN). Sometimes, the physical order in which the Drive Enclosures are stacked and cabled in might differ from the cabling order recommended in this document. If the Drive Enclosures appear out of order (not, 1 through 30 in sequence bottom up), then the customer can change it through the GUI. But the GUI and the identification display on the chassis must always match.

The Pilots, Controllers, and the Replication Engines must also be numbered sequentially from the bottom to the top of the rack. Refer to the following example for more information on component numbering of the rack-ready Oracle FS Systems.

The chassis ID numbers on the Controllers can also be manually changed from the GUI.

Note: The above example shows eight DE2–24P Drive Enclosures (2 RU), four DE2–24C Drive Enclosures (4 RU), and two Replication Engines.
