Changing the Name of a DXi6800 RBOD/EBOD Using SANTricity (DRAFT) |
Procedure tested and documented by Dean Glover
***CAVEAT*** The preferred method is to use the Service Menu. Please refer to Service menu option. This current procedure requires that you be directly connected to the unit and going through the console interface to access SANtricity. This will NOT work if you’re interfacing through a putty session due the inability to start X windows or launch X clients/GUIs.
You can alternatively go into the console using the iDRAC interface.
-In order for an RBOD to be successfully added as a capacity expansion to a DXi6800 system, the name associated with it must be “Unnamed”. If it has already been named, such as Qarray3, an error will occur when capacity expansion is attempted and expansion will fail.
-If an “Unnamed” RBOD is connected to a system then powered up with that system, it will automatically be given a “QarrayX” name during the boot process. It can no longer be added as a capacity expansion without changing the name back to “Unnamed”. This procedure will explain how to change the name on the RBOD.
