Changing Expansion Enclosure ID Numbers

When an MD3060e Series expansion enclosure is connected to an MD Series storage array for the first time, an

enclosure ID number is assigned and maintained by the expansion enclosure. This enclosure ID number is also shown in

the MD Storage Manager and can be changed if required.

To change the enclosure ID numbers:

1.

In the AMW, from the menu bar, select Hardware → Enclosure → Change → ID.

2.

Select a new enclosure ID number from the Change Enclosure ID list.
The enclosure ID must be between 0 and 99 (inclusive).

To save the changed enclosure ID, click OK.

Changing The Enclosure Order

You can change the order of the RAID controller modules and the expansion enclosures to match the hardware

configuration in your storage array. The enclosure order change remains in effect until it is modified again.

To change the enclosure order:

In the AMW, from the menu bar, select Hardware → Enclosure → Change → Hardware View Order.
