Changing Expansion Enclosure ID Numbers

When an MD1200 series expansion enclosure is connected to an MD3600i Series storage array for the first time, an enclosure ID number is assigned and maintained by the expansion enclosure. This enclosure ID number is also shown in the MDSM and can be changed if required.

To change the enclosure ID numbers:

1In the AMW, select the storage array, and select Storage Array→ Change→ Enclosure ID.

2Select a new enclosure ID number from the Change Enclosure ID list. The enclosure ID must be between 0 and 99 (inclusive).

3To save the changed enclosure ID, click Change.

1In the AMW, select Storage Array→ Change→ Enclosure Order.

2From the enclosures list, select the enclosure you want to move and click either Up or Down to move the enclosure to the new position.
