Set Storage Array Enclosure Positions

Description

This command defines the position of the enclosures in a storage array. You must include all of the enclosures in the
storage array when you enter this command.

Syntax

set storageArray enclosurePositions=(controller | enclosureID... enclosureIDn)

Parameter

Parameter

Description

enclosurePostions

A list of all of the enclosure IDs. The sequence of the
enclosure IDs in the list defines the positions for the RAID
enclosure and the expansion enclosures in a storage
array. Valid values are 0 to 99. Enter the enclosure ID
values separated by a space. Enclose the list of enclosure
ID values in parentheses. For storage arrays where the
RAID enclosure has a predefined identifier that is not in
the range of valid enclosure position values, use the
controller value.

Additional Information

This command defines the position of an enclosure in a storage array by the position of the enclosure ID in the
enclosurePositions list. For example, if you have a RAID enclosure with an ID set to 84 and expansion
enclosures with IDs set to 1, 12, and 50, the enclosurePositions sequence (84 1 12 50) places the RAID
enclosure in the first position, expansion enclosure 1 in the second position, expansion enclosure 12 in the third position,
and expansion enclosure 50 in the fourth position. The enclosurePositions sequence (1 84 50 12) places the
RAID enclosure in the second position, expansion enclosure 1 in the first position, expansion enclosure 50 in the third
position, and expansion enclosure 12 in the fourth position.

NOTE: You must include all of the enclosures in the storage array in the list defined by the
enclosurePositions parameter. If the number of enclosures in the list does not match the total number of
enclosures in the storage array, an error message is shown.
