Mapping drive bays

CAUTION: Before mapping any drive bays, note the current configuration. Any changes to
the drive bay mapping configuration where there are any drives set up in a Smart Array RAID
configuration could cause data loss.
IMPORTANT: The HPE Apollo r2800 Chassis does not support nodes using the HPE
Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller or the HPE P840 Smart Array Controller. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise recommends installing an HPE H240 Host Bus Adapter or HPE P440
Smart Array Controller.
For detailed information and examples on drive bay mapping configuration changes in the HPE Apollo
r2800 Chassis, see the HPE iLO 4 Scripting and Command Line Guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website (http://www.hpe.com/info/ilo/docs).
To map drives in the HPE Apollo r2800 Chassis:
Determine which drive bays to map to each node.
1.
Using Integrated Lights Out (iLO) administrator login credentials, use a script that includes the
2.
READ_BACKPLANE_INFO command to get the current mapping information from the HPE Apollo
r2800 Chassis.
Build an XML script to map the drive bays.
3.
Using a script that includes the READ_ZONE_TABLE command, verify the changes to the zone
4.
table. The drives can also be labeled to clearly show the drive bay mapping configuration.
Power down the nodes
5.
IMPORTANT: All nodes must remain powered off for at least 5 seconds after executing the
configuration changes.
Power up the nodes (on page 32).
