Enabling JBOD Support To monitor peripheral device condition and events of a JBOD, you first need to enable JBOD support. If you are not already logged in as ssconfig or ssadmin, a password prompt is displayed; type the password. The Agent Options Management window is displayed.
In a single-bus configuration, both ports of the JBOD are connected to one HBA on the server.
In a split-bus configuration, each port is connected to its own HBA. A
SAF-TE limitation prevents the main window from showing the drives connected to port A and port B. The
program can only monitor the JBOD from the server connected to port B.
NOTE: In a split-bus configuration, if each port is connected to different servers, the program can only monitor the JBOD from the server connected to port B. Displaying Component and Alarm Characteristics The View Enclosure window displays the component and alarm characteristics of a JBOD. To display FRU ID information, click View FRU.
Environmental State
The Environmental State section of the View Enclosure window reports the status of power supplies, fans, and
temperature. It provides an overall environmental status of the array as well as the status of the individual components. For a
description of the Component/Status list, see View Enclosure - Environmental State.
To determine power supply and fan locations, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User's Guide.
SAF-TE Temperature Sensor Locations Monitoring temperature at different points within the array is one of the most important SAF-TE functions. High temperatures can cause
significant damage if they go unnoticed. There are a number of different sensors at key points in the enclosure. The following table
shows the location of each of those sensors, which corresponds to the Temperature # displayed in the View Enclosure Component/Status list.

Downloading Firmware for Devices For instructions on how to download firmware to disk drives on a Solaris host, refer to the
README file in the patch that contains the firmware. For patch information, refer to the release notes
for your array. Discovering a Drive Drive failure places the JBOD in a critical state. A red device status symbol Solaris OS devfsadmin format
