onfiguration

This dialog allows the user to define drive bay mappings within a
selected RemotaSilo chassis.

RemotaSilo relies on the drive bay mapping in order to control the drive
failure indicator. The drive bay mapping associates a drive bay number
to the Channel number and the SCSI ID of a specific drive. When an
installed RAID controller detects a drive failure, it reports the Channel
number and SCSI ID of the bad drive. RemotaSilo receives this
information from the RAID controller and then maps the failed drive to
the corresponding bay number. This causes the drive fail indicator LED
on the specified bay to illuminate, indicating the failed drive.

The Drive Bay Configuration dialog displays the drive bay current
configuration for the identified RemotaSilo chassis.
