MPIO available disks

Available disks function lists the disks which are connected with one path only and that are not configured as a part of MPIO appliances.

This function enables a manual configuration of those disks (with one path) as part MPIO appliances. It is also possible to check details of individual disks.

Important:

Disks on which Pools are located are also listed – in this case, the configuration of an MPIO appliance will be postponed as pending setup until the Pool is exported,

and later until the Pool is imported or the system restarted (or when using a cross SAS cluster for moving the resources (Pool) to the second node and back).

Important:

In case of using remote disks for cluster over Ethernet functionality, the MPIO appliances configuration will be postponed until the system (server?) is restarted.

Important:

Listed are also the disks which are available through more than one path and which were deleted from the MPIO appliance in the MPIO disks section form - keep in mind that

the MPIO appliance will be automatically configured after the system restart, as it is for all disks connected to the system through more than one path.
