Introduction
CAUTION: See the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document for important
safety information before following any procedures listed in this document.
An enclosure containing physical disks accessed through EMMs (Enclosure Management Modules) is
called a storage enclosure. A storage enclosure includes various hardware components, such as physical
disks, EMM's, fans, and power supplies.
One or more host servers attached to the storage enclosure can access the data on the storage
enclosure. You can also establish multiple physical paths between the host(s) and the storage enclosure
so that loss of any single path (for example, through failure of a host server port) does not result in loss of
access to data on the storage enclosure.
The storage enclosure is managed by the Storage Enclosure Management software running on a host
server. On the host server system, the management software and the storage enclosure communicate
management requests and event information using in-band SAS connections.
Terminology
•
Storage Enclosure — When the MD3060e attached to a server directly or other MD3060e enclosures,
it is referred to as a Storage Enclosure. This document applies to the management of the MD3060e as
a Storage Enclosure.
•
Expansion Enclosure — When the MD3060e is used as an MD3 (MD32/MD34/MD36/MD38) Series
Storage Array expansion it is referred to as an Expansion Enclosure. For documentation for the use of
the MD3060e as an Expansion Enclosure, please refer to the MD3 Series Storage Array Administrator's
Guide. These documents can be found at dell.com/support.
This document familiarizes the user with the functions of the Storage Enclosure Management Software.
The Storage Enclosure Management Software is comprised of two major components:
•
Storage Enclosure CLI (secli) — This component provides a command line interface (CLI) that is used
to obtain device and status information of storage enclosure components. This tool is also used for
firmware update of Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs) as well as hard drives and solid-state
drives within the enclosure.
•
Storage Enclosure Monitor — This component runs continuously, monitoring and logging the status
of enclosure components, including EMMs, drives, power supplies and fan modules.
The document is organized into two major sections. The first section of this document describes the CLI
commands required to perform certain common task within the MD3060e. The second section is a
reference to all CLI commands ordered by type.
