Add a logical drive for mezzanine storage

Prerequisites
  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator

  • At least one drive enclosure is present

  • At least one SAS interconnect is present

Procedure
  1. From the main menu, select SERVERS > Server Profiles.
  2. Select Create profile.
  3. Under Local Storage, select Edit Mezzanine storage.
  4. Check the box to manage mezzanine storage controller.

    More options appear.

  5. Click Add logical drive.

    Logical JBODs can be set to External only. Ensure you know which controller is managing your front drives, and that here are enough drives available. The create action will fail if there are not enough internal drives.

  6. Enter the requested information on the page.
  7. Optional: Check the box to add a Spare drive.

    When a spare drive is configured for a logical drive, if a physical drive used by this logical drive fails, the spare drive automatically replaces it so that logical drive operation is not affected.

    NOTE:

    Spare drive configuration from HPE OneView is only available for logical drives using an external storage location.

  8. Click Add to add the logical drive or click Add+ to add more logical drives.
  9. Select a Predictive Spare Activation rule to decide how a spare drive is used.
  10. Verify the logical drive has been added in the master pane.
