Server Administrator Storage Management 8.2 User’s Guide

Identifying An Open Connector On The Enclosure

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.

If you have not attached the enclosure to an open connector, you may need to identify a connector on the controller that can be used for this purpose. To identify an open connector:

  1. In the Server Administrator window, under the System tree, expand Storage.
  2. Expand the controller object. The available connectors are displayed. These connectors are numbered starting from zero.
  3. Identify a connector that is not attached to storage. If the connector is already attached to storage, then the connector object can be expanded to display an enclosure or backplane and the attached physical disks. A connector object that cannot be expanded in the tree view is an open connector not currently attached to storage. Storage Management displays a number for each connector. These numbers correspond to the connector numbers on the controller hardware. You can use these numbers to identify which open connector displayed in the tree view with the open connector on the controller hardware.
