Insert a new storage module into an empty slot in chassis.

SAS zoning configurations on the storage module expanders are deleted. The storage module is then automatically registered with the CMM so that any future saved configurations will remain unchanged if the storage module is removed and reinserted in the same slot.

• Use the CMM zoning utility to assign storage module resources to SAS-2 server blades.

• Use the host REM management software to configure virtual drives.

Remove and insert a previously zoned storage module into the same chassis slot.

Since the storage module is already registered with the CMM, storage module zoning configurations will remain unchanged.

The host REM might identify the storage module virtual drives as a foreign configuration (MegaRAID), or inactive (Fusion-MPT IR). A foreign or inactive configuration can be recovered using the REM management software. For MegaRAID, use the import feature described in the LSI MegaRAID SAS Software User's Guide. For Fusion-MPT IR, use the activate feature described in the LSI SAS2 Integrated RAID User's Guide.

Remove and insert a previously zoned storage module into a different chassis slot.

Upon insertion into the chassis, SAS zoning configurations on the storage module expanders are deleted. The storage module is then automatically registered with the CMM so that any future saved configurations will remain unchanged if the storage module is removed and reinserted in the same slot.

• Restore zoning configurations from a backup of CMM configurations.

Insert a new hard disk into an empty storage module slot that has never been occupied or assigned to a server module.

The new drive will be seen by the CMM as unassigned storage.

• Use the CMM zoning utility to assign the new drive to a SAS-2 server module.

• Use the host REM management software to add the drive to a virtual drive or as a hot spare. Refer to the LSI MegaRAID SAS Software User's Guide for details.

Insert a hard disk into a previously occupied slot in the storage module that is currently assigned to a server module.

The CMM will reserve the drive slot host assignment. If the drive is a replacement, it will be discovered by the assigned host REM and be rebuilt into the current RAID configuration if no hot spare was available.

• If the drive is a replacement drive and the original drive was not assigned to a RAID configuration, the replacement drive will be available to the OS for partitioning.

• If the drive is the same drive that was removed, and the virtual drive it was removed from had no hot spare, the host REM might identify the drive as a foreign configuration. A foreign configuration can be imported using the REM management software. Refer to the LSI MegaRAID SAS Software User's Guide for details.

Insert a second SAS-2 NEM into an empty chassis slot.

The SAS-2 NEM is automatically registered with the CMM. The second SAS-2 NEM obtains zoning configurations from the first SAS-2 NEM. Any future saved configurations will remain unchanged if the SAS-2 NEM is removed and reinserted in the same slot.

• When using a SAS-2 REM configured for RAID, dual path support to storage will automatically be enabled.

• When using a SAS-2 REM not configured for RAID, dual path support might need to be configured at the OS level. Check your OS documentation for information on enabling SAS multipath support.

• Use the Sun Blade Zone Manager component of the CMM ILOM to assign host access to the external NEM SAS ports.

Remove and insert a SAS–2 NEM into the same chassis slot.

Since the SAS–2 NEM is already registered with the CMM, NEM zoning configurations will remain unchanged.

The replacement SAS-2 NEM will obtain zoning configurations from the first SAS-2 NEM. Any future saved configurations will remain unchanged if the SAS-2 NEM is removed and reinserted in the same slot.

The server module is then automatically registered with the CMM so that any future saved configurations will remain unchanged if the server module is removed and reinserted in the same slot.
