676 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
At system initialization, when devices are added to or removed from strands (and at other
times), the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 software performs a discovery process to update the
state of the drive and enclosure objects.
The Storwize V5010 supports one SAS chain for each control enclosure, and up to 10
expansion enclosures can be attached to this chain. The node canister uses SAS port 1 for
expansion enclosures.
Figure 12-19 shows the SAS cabling on a Storwize V5010 with three attached expansion
enclosures.
