Dot Hill Systems II 200 FC Manuale Utente

SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • March 2005

1. Connect a fiber-optic cable to an HBA.

2. Set your loop IDs using the ID switch on the JBOD array.

The loop ID should only be changed while the JBOD array is powered off 

or not in use. After changing the loop ID, a power cycle is required to make the ID 
switch change take effect. Failure to cycle the power following an ID switch change 
can lead to unexpected results.

3. Connect the SFP connector at the other end of each of these fiber-optic cables to host 

channel SFP connectors on the back of the JBOD array. 

4. Power up the equipment in the following order, so that the host computer discovers all 

connected arrays:

a. SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array

b. Host computer

5. Use your host system disk management utilities to prepare the disks in the SANnet II 

200 FC JBOD array for use.
Refer to your host system documentation for more information about disk management 
utilities available to you.

Enabling SANnet II 200 FC JBOD Array 
Support

For SANnet II 200 FC JBOD arrays, configure JBOD support only when you have a 
JBOD array connected directly to a host. This enables you to monitor peripheral device 
conditions and events. If you have an expansion unit connected to a RAID array, the 
RAID controllers monitor the expansion unit’s conditions and events for you.

Enabling JBOD support can impact I/O performance.

To monitor peripheral device conditions and events on a SANnet II 200 FC JBOD 
array from the SANscape console, you first must enable JBOD support. 

1. Choose View 

→ Agent Options Management.

The Agent Options Management window is displayed.

2. Select the Enable JBOD Support checkbox.

3. To immediately display the JBOD array in the main window, choose View 

→ View 

Server and click Probe to probe for new inventory.
