storage array for the first time, an enclosure ID number is assigned and
maintained by the MD1000. This enclosure ID number is also shown in the

location. It may appear that MD Storage Manager is reporting the expansion
enclosures in improper order.
You can change the enclosure ID numbers in the MD Storage Manager by

Any ID number you assign will not conflict with the enclosure IDs.

the occurrence of an adverse environmental condition. Alerts can be sent as
e-mail messages or as SNMP messages.

Alert status
line in the
Status
area of the
Summary
tab.

Tools
tab and then click
