Viewing Storage Array Connections

You can use the View Connections option to view the expansion enclosures connected to the RAID controller module.

To view the storage array connections:

1From the toolbar in AMW, select Storage ArrayViewConnections. The <Storage Array>:Connections dialog appears.

2Click the column name to sort the connections according to your preference.

3Click Close.

If you receive an error message for a port, you can use this dialog to identify the components on the port that might have caused the error. By isolating these components, you prevent accidentally disconnecting components that are still in operation, which could cause an interruption in data flow.

Adding/Editing a Comment to an Existing Storage Array

A descriptive comment, with an applicable storage array name, is a helpful identification tool. You can add or edit a comment for a storage array in the EMW only.

To add or edit a comment:

1In the EMW, select the Devices tab and select the relevant managed storage array.

2Select EditComment.

The Edit Comment dialog appears.

3Type the 60-character comment.

4Click OK.

This option updates the comment in the table view and saves it in your local storage management station file system. The comment does not appear to administrators who are using other storage management stations.
