Add RAID Sets
-
Click CONFIGURATION on the top bar,
then select Storage on the left-side bar.
The graphic will show the Primary Chassis and any attached Expansion Chassis.
Note: If Expansion Chassis has drives that look configured already (shaded same blue as Primary Chassis shown in red below), the expansion will not work. See the Troubleshooting section or SFDC knowledge base articles for potential fix.Under Expansion Chassis, the status should be ‘Unconfigured’ as shown in the yellow box below.
-
Click the ADD RAID SET button.
A series of dropdowns appears.
-
Enter the following values to add the first six drives (#1-6) to the LUN:
- Host Bus Adaptor ID: 0
- HBA Enclosure ID: 1 Note: This is the first Expansion Chassis attached, not the same as Enclosure Number.
- First Drive: 1
- Last Drive: 6
- RAID Level: 6
-
Click APPLY.
A provisioning task will be generated and shown with a PENDING status. (it could take up to 5 minutes)
Once executed successfully, the status will change to SUCCESS and the graphic will show the added drives.
- Next, add the second six drives (#7-12) to the same array by clicking the ADD RAID SET button again.

Enter the following values to add the second six drives (#7-12) to the LUN:
- Host Bus Adaptor ID: 0
- HBA Enclosure ID: 1 Note: This is the first Expansion Chassis attached, not the same as Enclosure Number.
- First Drive: 7
- Last Drive: 12
- RAID Level: 6

Click APPLY.
A provisioning task will be generated and shown with a PENDING status.
Once executed successfully, the status will change to SUCCESS and the graphic will show all drives added.
This concludes the provisioning of the first Expansion Chassis. If more than one Expansion Chassis is attached to the Primary Chassis, repeat the steps above to add additional RAID sets, being careful to change the HBA Enclosure ID each time to be in the order attached to the Primary Chassis.
