    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for distributing configuration parameters. The present invention includes one or more storage devices configured to store data, a first DHCP server configured to process DHCP messages and redirect communications regarding configuration parameters for the storage devices to a second DHCP server, and a configuration datastore configured to store configuration parameters for the storage devices. The second DHCP server may be configured to process DHCP messages and retrieve configuration parameters for the storage devices from the configuration datastore. In certain embodiments, each storage initiator communicates with the DHCP servers, receives the configuration parameters such as iSCSI parameters, and provides the configuration parameters to one or more storage devices.

    摘要: A method of configuring a blade enclosure is provided in which, in a first step, slots are identified whose SAS connectors are to be connected to SAS device blades in a minimum capacity configuration. In a second step, slots are identified whose SAS connectors are to be connected to the SAS device blades in a maximum capacity configuration. A path is then established from the SAS switch to the SAS connector of each slot identified in either the first step or the second step. Blade devices, such as RAID controller blades and disk enclosure blades are installed in the identified slots. Thus, the SAS switch within the enclosure selectively and efficiently interfaces with a predetermined number of blade slots rather than with all slots.

    摘要: An assembly that facilitates the use of modules requiring orthogonal airflow in a chassis providing normal airflow. Partitions within the housing direct ambient airflow from the front air inlet, through the modules, and out the rear air exhaust. The housing and partitions define first and second vertically and horizontally offset slots for receiving first and second orthogonal airflow modules, and also define separate first and second airflow pathways. The first airflow pathway provides airflow through a front air inlet, under the second module, orthogonally through the first module and out the rear air exhaust. Similarly, the second airflow pathway provides airflow through a front air inlet, over the first module, orthogonally through the second module and out the rear air exhaust. Both airflow pathways both draw ambient air into the housing and exhaust warm air from the rear of the housing, while keeping the two airflow pathways separated.
