Split mode mapping configurations

  • CAUTION: Changing the storage sled mapping configuration from Joined mode to Split mode can result in loss of configuration and/or loss of access to hard drives/SSDs.
  • NOTE: When changing the mapping configuration from Joined mode to Split mode, the secondary controller is powered on. It is recommended that you run the latest PERC/HBA firmware Dell Update Package (DUP) to ensure that both controllers are running the latest firmware.
The split mode mapping configurations apply to the following:
  • The storage sled supports a storage controller module with dual PERC/HBA controllers.
  • Both controllers are enabled by setting the Storage Mode to split mode in the CMC interface.

In the split mode, eight hard drives/SSDs are mapped to each controller. Hard drives/SSDs in slots 0 to 7 map to controller 1 or primary controller, and hard drives/SSDs in slots 8 to 15 map to controller 2. For more information, see Drive to storage controller mapping .

There are two split mode options available in the CMC interface:
  • Split Single Host mode
  • Split Dual Host mode
