Management and Monitoring This chapter will instruct user how to manage and monitor the JetStor system. Before starting, at least one JetStor system must connect to the CubeView. 3.1. System Information After clicking one of the devices in the CubeView left pane, main working area will show the system information and major monitoring and managing tabs.
INFORMATION: For the front and rear view about the UID LEDs, please refer to chapter JetStor JX Series Hardware 2, System Components Overview in the Manual. Upgrade FW: Restart Storage: Click the Restart button to reboot the system.
1. Make sure the JetStor system power cords are connected to power outlet, all available disk drives are installed into disk drive slots, and then power on the JetStor system. 2. Make sure all servers that connect to SAS ports can detect and access the JetStor system.
JetStor system to make new zoning configurations take effect. After restart the JetStor system, server that connected to the SAS port can only detect and access designated the disk drives according to new SAS zoning configuration. We take some SAS zoning examples for your reference.
SAS Ports and Disk Drives Divided into Two Groups You can configure the zoning setting for each port according to requirement. Here is an example of two zones of SAS ports and disk drives. SAS port 1 and 2 can access to the disk drive slot 1 ~ 12, and SAS port 3, 4, 5 can access to the disk drive slot 13 ~ 24.
SAS Ports and Disk Drives Divided into Five Groups Here is an example of five zones of SAS ports and disk drives. SAS port 1 can access to the disk drive slot 1 ~ 5, SAS port 2 can access to the disk drive slot 6 ~ 10, SAS port 3 can access to the disk drive slot 11 ~ 15, SAS port 4 can access to the disk drive slot 16 ~ 20, and SAS port 5 can access to the disk drive slot 21 ~ 24.
