Compaq Infortrend manual Controller Date and Time, Time Zone

“Ctlr Unique ID-,” then press ENT. Enter any hex number between “0” and “FFFFF” and press ENT to proceed.

Enter a unique ID for any RAID controller no matter it is configured in a single or dual-controller configuration. The unique ID is recognized by the controller as the following:

1.A controller-specific identifier that helps controllers to identify its counterpart in a dual-active configuration.

2.The unique ID is combined to generate a unique WWN node name for controllers or RAID systems using Fibre channel host ports. The unique node name helps to prevent host computers from mis-addressing the storage system during the controller failback/failover processes.

3.MAC addresses for the controller’s Ethernet port that should be taken over by a surviving controller in the event of controller failure.
