    Appendix C: Drive Assignment Appendix C Drive Assignment C.1 Overview After installing the SSG-136R-NR32JBF system, you must assign drives to hosts. This appendix provides information about drive mappings and procedures for reassigning drives to different hosts. Refer to the Web GUI or command line interface sections in this appendix for your preferred procedure.

The following tables provide an overview of endpoint mapping for drive slots in a four-host and eight-host configuration.
  • Page 67 Appendix C: Drive Assignment C.3 Assigning a Drive from the GUI Drive assignment from the Web GUI requires a computer with access to the network that contains the SSG-136R-NR32JBF system. Optimize drive performance by assigning the drives used by each host across the PCI-E switches (RSSD trays) and across the bays within each tray (see figure on page 10).

  • Page 70 SuperStorage SSG-136R-NR32JBF User's Manual Reassigning a Drive 1. To change drive assignment, you must first create a .txt file that includes your changes in JSON format. For example: "Endpoints": [ "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Fabrics/1/Endpoints/1" "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Fabrics/1/Endpoints/7" "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Fabrics/1/Endpoints/5" In the above example of a 4-host configuration, endpoint 19 (drive 22) was removed from Zone 1, and endpoints 7 and 5 (drives 26 and 24) were added to Zone 1.
  • Page 71 Appendix C: Drive Assignment C.5 Obtaining the System IP Address Drive reassignment requires the IP address of the SSG-136R-NR32JBF system. Perform the following procedure to obtain the system IP address. If DHCP is detected, a dynamic IP address is assigned to the system. If DHCP is not detected, the default IP address is 192.168.1.99.
