Changing Expansion Enclosure ID Numbers

When an MD3060e Series expansion enclosure is connected to an MD Series storage array for the first time, an
enclosure ID number is assigned and maintained by the expansion enclosure. This enclosure ID number is also shown in
the MD Storage Manager and can be changed if required.
To change the enclosure ID numbers:
1.
In the AMW, from the menu bar, select Hardware → Enclosure → Change → ID.
2.
Select a new enclosure ID number from the Change Enclosure ID list.
The enclosure ID must be between 0 and 99 (inclusive).

configuration in your storage array. The enclosure order change remains in effect until it is modified again.
