Task 2: Enabling External Ports

The Modular Server has external ports that each blade server can access. The port numbers correspond to the slot number of each blade server. To enable a port is to enable the external data connection, in this case, to access a LUN on the VTrak.

To enable the external ports:

1.In the MSC screen, click the Chassis Back tab.

2.Click the SCM 1 component in the enclosure graphic.

3.Click Expansion Port in the SCM 1 Actions menu.
