Dot Hill Systems B.6 Setting the Loop ID on a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD Array, B.5.3 SANscape CLI

B.5.1.1 Enabling JBOD Support

To monitor peripheral device conditions and events on a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array from SANscape, you first need to enable JBOD support. See “Enabling SANnet

II200 FC JBOD Array Support” on page B-10for the procedure for enabling JBOD support.

B.5.2 SANscape Alert

SANscape Alert supports standalone JBOD arrays. However, triggered event notification is limited to environmental failures and hard drive failures.

B.5.3 SANscape CLI

The SANscape CLI supports JBOD arrays. However, because JBOD arrays do not have a RAID controller to manage the disks, this support is limited to the following commands:

■about

■download pld-firmware

■download ses-firmware

■exit

■help

■quit

■select

■show access-mode

■show configuration

■show enclosure-status

■show frus

■show inquiry-data

■show pld-revision

■show ses-devices

■version

Refer to the SANscape CLI User’s Guide for information about using these commands.

B.6 Setting the Loop ID on a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD Array

When a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array is directly attached to a host, unique, hard- assigned loop IDs are assigned to each drive in the JBOD array. A loop ID is the decimal version of an AL_PA. The lowest number loop ID is the lowest priority address on the loop.

An ID switch on the left front side of a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array, underneath the left chassis ear, is used to set loop IDs for the disk drives to different ranges of values.
