B.5.1.1

Enabling JBOD Support

To monitor peripheral device conditions and events on a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD 
array from SANscape, you first need to enable JBOD support. See “Enabling SANnet 
II 200 FC JBOD Array Support” on page B-10 for the procedure for enabling JBOD 
support.

B.5.2

SANscape Alert

SANscape Alert supports standalone JBOD arrays. However, triggered event 
notification is limited to environmental failures and hard drive failures.

B.5.3

SANscape CLI

The SANscape CLI supports JBOD arrays. However, because JBOD arrays do not 
have a RAID controller to manage the disks, this support is limited to the following 
commands:

B.6

Setting the Loop ID on a SANnet II 200 FC 
JBOD Array

When a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array is directly attached to a host, unique, hard-
assigned loop IDs are assigned to each drive in the JBOD array. A loop ID is the 
decimal version of an AL_PA. The lowest number loop ID is the lowest priority 
address on the loop. 

An ID switch on the left front side of a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array, underneath the 
left chassis ear, is used to set loop IDs for the disk drives to different ranges of values.
