Regardless of the installation environment, operating system, or software tool used to configure

the disk enclosure, the following tasks must be completed:

• Updating controller or controller enclosure firmware or drivers. Instructions are included with

the controller or controller enclosure.

• Updating disk enclosure firmware. Instructions are included with the firmware. For more

information, see “Updating disk enclosure firmware” Page 39.

• Configuring the disk enclosure and its storage.

Creating the logical storage units (LUNs).◦

◦ Entering global controller settings, such as setting the read/write cache ratio, setting the

rebuild/expand priority, and setting the redundancy level.

◦ Identifying the operating system type (also called Host Mode or Profile) of the host that

will access the disk enclosure. This ensures that the disk enclosure will communicate

properly with that host.

◦ Verifying that the configured storage is visible to the host.

A variety of configuration, management, and diagnostic tools are supported for use with these

disk enclosures. Which tools are supported for your installation environment is determined by the

controller or controller enclosure to which the disk enclosure is connected.

For support information, see the QuickSpecs and user documents for the controller or controller
