• To add a storage array that uses out-of-band management, specify the host name or IP address of each controller in the storage array. NOTE: It can take several minutes for MD Storage Manager to connect to the specified storage array. Naming Storage Arrays Each storage array should be assigned a unique name. A storage array name has a 30-character limit. All leading and trailing spaces are deleted from the name. A name can consist of letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), dash (-), and pound sign (#). No other special characters are allowed. To physically locate a storage array: 1 Click the Tools tab. 2 Click Blink and then click Blink Storage Array or Enclosures. 3 Select the storage array from the displayed list and click Blink. The indicator light on the front of the storage array flashes. 4 Click Stop after you locate the array. To rename the selected storage array: 1 Click the Tools tab. 2 Click Rename Storage Array. 3 Type a unique, meaningful name that is easy to understand and remember. 4 Click OK. NOTE: Avoid arbitrary names or names that might lose meaning in the future. Removing Storage Arrays You can remove a storage array from the list of managed arrays if you no longer want to manage it from a specific storage management station. Removing a storage array does not affect the storage array or its data in any way. Removing a storage array simply removes it from the list of storage arrays that appear in the drop-down list in the Array Selector. If a storage array is accidentally removed, it can be added again (see "Adding Storage Arrays" on page 17). 18 Storage Array
