ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual
6.1 JBOD
The Diamond Storage Array is set up in a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) configuration as default. JBOD
configuration allows for many individual disk drives to be available for normal storage operations.
CAUTION CAUTION
Selecting JBOD configuration causes all
previous drive data on the Diamond
Storage Array to be erased. Make sure all of
your information is backed up before
setting up the Diamond Storage Array in a
JBOD configuration.
A JBOD configuration allows you to access each
of the possible 24 disk drives in the Diamond
Storage Array independently. In this
configuration, any action you can do to a normal
disk drive can be performed on any disk in the
JBOD.
To set up the JBOD configuration
1 Connect to Diamond Storage Array services via
the RS-232 port or the optional Ethernet
management services card (refer to
Accessing
the Array on page 17). You should now be in
Command Line Interface.
1 Continue with the CLI or access the RAID page
of the ExpressNAV interface (refer to
ATTO
ExpressNAV: Browser-based Interface on page 25).
Note
Because the ExpressNAV pages take you
through this process easily, the following
instructions are based on the CLI commands.
Use these instructions as a guide in
ExpressNAV.
2 Type set QuickRAID0 0. The command will
configure the Diamond Storage Array in the
JBOD configuration.
3 Information will display on the screen while the
Diamond Storage Array updates NVRAM. The
Ready* prompt displays.
4 Type SaveConfiguration to save the JBOD
configuration.
5 Type FirmwareRestart to reboot the Diamond
Storage Array.
6 Reboot the host computer.
The Diamond Storage Array is now configured
as a set of individual disk drives.
7 To verify the configuration, type DriveInfo . If
any sleds are missing, the sled slots will be
reported as offline.
