Adding host to storage
Dear support members,
I have done creating Diskgroups on SAN, and now I am trying to define a host (Host mapping) but SAN can find the port automatically,
SAN: MD3400
Cable: Mini SAS FCI (http://www.fci.com/en/products/cable-assemblies/mini-sas-hd-cable-assemblies.html)
I tried to log on to the SAS card setting on my server bios but, all (Ctr+S/R) options are for network boot or RAID contler..
please help me out to get this work....
Regards,

Hello Mhmood Hamooda,
Here is the link to the Deployment guide and it shows how to connect your cables to your MD3400. http://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/powervault-md3400_Deployment%20Guide2_en-us.pdf
Also you need to install MDSM (Modular Disk Storage Manger) to configure the MD3400. Here is a link to the resource CD that has MDSM on it as well. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=JTPC2&fileId=3423584463&osCode=W12R2&productCode=powervault-md3400&languageCode=EN&categoryId=CD
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
