Single PERC/HBA Controller and joined mode mapping configurations

  • CAUTION: Changing the storage sled mapping configuration from Split Single Host mode to Joined mode can change some hard drives/SSDs to non-RAID mode.
The single PERC/HBA Controller and joined mode configurations apply to the following:
  • The storage sled supports a storage controller module with a single controller, and all hard drives/SSDs map to the single controller.
  • The storage sled supports a storage controller module with dual controllers, but only the primary controller is enabled by setting the Storage Mode to Joined in the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) interface. All hard drives/SSDs in the storage sled map to the primary controller in the joined mode.
The following enclosure configurations support single PERC/HBA controller and joined mode mapping.
  • Four-bay chassis—controllers inside two storage sleds map to two half-width compute sleds
  • Four-bay chassis (one compute sled)—controllers inside three storage sleds map to one half-width compute sled
  • Six-bay chassis—controllers inside two storage sleds map to two quarter-width compute sleds
  • Three-bay chassis—controllers inside two storage sleds map to one full-width compute sled
  • NOTE: PowerEdge FX2s supports multiple single PERC/HBA controller and joined mode mapping configurations. You must select the desired configuration based on your intended usage.
