Introduction to the Sun Blade Storage Module M2
Maintaining the Sun Blade Storage Module M2
Management of your storage module is done at two levels: disk management and enclosure management.
Disk management involves tasks performed through a server's RAID Expansion Module (REM) utilities to create volumes, disk spares, view logged disk errors, mount and unmount disks, and replace faulty disks.
Enclosure management involves tasks performed through the Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM) to configure host–based storage zoning, upgrade module firmware, monitor module status, obtain FRU information and perform a storage module reset.
If the REM management software supports SES, enclosure management features such as module status (temperature, voltage, LEDs) and FRU information might also be available in addition to disk management features.
