Keep your Storwize V7000 Gen2 records up to date
Keep good records of the system location, names, and management addresses.
Record the location information for your enclosures.
If you have only one system, it is relatively easy to identify the enclosures that
make up the system. Identification becomes more difficult when you have multiple
systems in your data center and multiple systems in the same rack.
Record the MT-M and serial number of each Storwize V7000 Gen2 enclosure. The
information can be found on the IBM Standard Asset Tag attached to the left
enclosure bezel, which includes a machine-readable data matrix to ISO/IEC 15434.
For each system, record the location of the control enclosure and the location of
any expansion enclosures. It is useful to label the enclosures themselves with the
system name and the management IP addresses.
