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. 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 View Details. The storage Overview 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 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 System Reseat. 4. Click Confirm. NOTE: The storage sled, if assigned to compute sleds that are powered on, causes input/output disruption. Blinking LED You can locate a storage sled within a chassis by making the sled LED blink. This is helpful in identifying a system. To turn on the LED blinking: 1. From the Devices drop-down menu, select Storage. Managing storage 53
