Congure SAS Ports
For a Storage Center with SAS front-end ports, the Review Fault Domains page displays information about the fault domains that
were created by the Storage Center.
Prerequisites
• One port from each controller within the same fault domain must be cabled.
• The ports for each fault domain must be cabled to the same server.
NOTE: If the Storage Center is not cabled correctly to create fault domains, the Cable Ports page opens and explains the
issue. Click Refresh after cabling more ports.
Steps
1. Review the fault domains that have been created.
2. (Optional) Click Copy to clipboard to copy the fault domain information.
3. (Optional) Review the information on the Hardware and Cabling Diagram tabs.
4. Click Next.
Inherit Settings
Use the Inherit Settings page to copy settings from a Storage Center that is already congured.
Prerequisite
You must be connected through a Data Collector.
Steps
1. Select the Storage Center whose settings you want to copy.
2. Place a check next to each setting that you want to inherit, or click Select All to inherit all settings.
