2.3.3 Monitor mode

When SAS JBOD chassis are
connected, the enclosure
tabs will appear in the
Monitor Mode (see Figure 2-
16
). Each tab view displays
different information for each
connected enclosure. Click
the Enclosure 0 tab to view
the information of the local
RAID subsystem. Click the
Enclosure 1, Enclosure 2, or
Enclosure 3 tabs for a brief
view of the connected SAS
JBOD.

Each SAS JBOD has an unique chassis identifier, which can be detected
automatically by the GUI when connected. The chassis identifier
corresponds to the enclosure tab number shown in the GUI. In this way,
users can identify and manage each SAS JBOD easily and correctly.
However, the enclosure tabs are always displayed in ascending order of
chassis identifiers instead of the chassis connection order.

The number of enclosure tabs may be different according the number of
connected SAS JBOD chassis. For more information, see • For redundant
controller with redundant JBODs.

Figure 2-17 displays the Config Mode when a SAS enclosure is
connected. Use the drop-down menu at the top of the page to select
the enclosure ID you wish to configure.

Note

In order to use the expansion port on the SAS controller, you must
have firmware version 1.20 or later for complete functionary.
