ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual
5.1 JBOD
The Diamond Storage Array is set up in a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) configuration as default. JBOD
configuration allows for many individual disk drives to be available for normal storage operations.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Selecting JBOD configuration causes all
previous drive data on the Diamond
Storage Array to be erased. Make sure all of
your information is backed up before
setting up the array in a JBOD
configuration.
A JBOD configuration allows you to access each
of the possible 24 disk drives in the Diamond
Storage Array independently. In this
configuration, any action you can do to a normal
disk drive can be performed on any disk in the
JBOD.
To set up the JBOD configuration
1 Connect to Diamond Storage Array services via
the RS-232 port or the optional Ethernet
management services card (refer to
Accessing
the Array
on page 17). You should now be in the
Command Line Interface mode.
2 Continue with the CLI or access the RAID page
of the ExpressNAV interface (refer to
ATTO
ExpressNAV: Browser-based Interface
on page 25).
Note
Because the ExpressNAV pages take you
through this process easily, the following
instructions are based on the CLI commands.
Use these instructions as a guide in
ExpressNAV.
3Type set QuickRAID0 0. The command
configures the array in the JBOD configuration.
4 Information displays on the screen while the
array updates NVRAM ending with a Ready*.
5Type SaveConfiguration.
6Type FirmwareRestart to reboot the array.
7 Reboot the host computer that is connected via
Fibre Channel or SCSI to the array.

configuration, type DriveInfo. If any sleds are
missing, the sled slots are reported as offline.
