5 Managing storage This chapter describes the Storage and IOM features of OME-Modular. It also provides details about performing various storage-related tasks. The SAS IOMs manage the storage enclosures. SAS IOMs facilitate communication between storage and compute sled and also help in assigning the storage to the compute sleds. You can assign storage devices as: ● Specific drive bays storage to compute sleds ● Entire storage enclosure to compute sleds You can use the options available on the storage page to perform power operations, update firmware, manage hardware settings, and configure alerts for the storage devices. For more information about SAS Storage, see Managing SAS IOMs. Topics: • Storage overview • Viewing hardware details • Assigning drives to a compute sled • Assigning storage enclosure to a compute sled • Replacing storage sleds • Updating enclosure firmware • Downgrading storage enclosure firmware • Managing SAS IOMs Storage overview On the Storage Overview page, you can view all the storage enclosures that are installed in the chassis.

Storage overview
On the
Storage Overview
page, you can view all the storage enclosures that are installed in the chassis. You can also perform
a virtual reseat of the storage enclosure and blink the LEDs to identify the storage enclosures.
To view the available storage enclosures or sleds:
1.
From the
Devices
drop-down menu, select
Storage
.
2.
Select the storage sled from the list of the storage devices.
3.
Click

page is displayed.
Performing a storage system reseat
You can perform a system reseat remotely using the OME–Modular. The system reseat option simulates a physical sled removal
and reinstallation.
To perform storage system reseat:
1.
From the
Devices
drop-down menu, select
Storage
.
2.
Select the storage sled you want to reseat.
3.
Click
Power Control
and click
