Configuration 2:
Configuration 2 allows up to three redundantly configured hosts to view a specific zone group of drives. Each
host will be able to view up to 20 drives that are mapped to both IOMs. Each zone group will display all of the
devices that are contained within that zone. If a drive slot is not populated, it will still be part of that zone group,
but it will not display any results in enclosure management until the drive slot has been populated. In this
Configuration, the enclosure is divided into three zone groups as shown in the image below represented by
three different colors. Each zone group matches to a pair of SAS ports on each side of the rear IOM to allow
for the connections to three different hosts.
• In-band management: Configuration 2 can be initiated in the sg_senddiag command in-band by using 02
in the Zoning Configuration option. See: sg_senddiag Command on page 168 for the actual senddiag
commands.
• Out-of-band management: Configuration 2 can be initiated in the out-of-band management by using 2
in the ZoningConfig option. See: Out-of-Band Management for the actual senddiag commands.
Figure 182: Configuration 2
Each SAS port in the following image matches the color of another set of drives in that specific zone group.
Connect the host servers to the enclosure using SAS cables in the Configuration listed in the table below.
