Flex System Enterprise Chassis bays
The diagram represents two Enterprise Chassis in a single
rack.
Each Enterprise Chassis contains 14 bays which can be
used for compute nodes or storage nodes
A compute node can use a single bay or multiple bays.
The Flex System V7000 enclosure uses 4 bays (double
wide and double tall) per enclosure.
The user can configure the chassis with the following
information about the chassis location:
– Rack Room, Rack Location, Position in Rack (the lowest
Rack Unit occupied by the Chassis), Chassis Name
Individual components will then be able to work out their
bay in the chassis
The Flex System V7000 will report it’s bay as the lowest
left bay that it occupies.
In the example, the following values would be set:
– Rack Room: My Room
– Rack Location: Next to Wall
– Position in Rack: 11
– Chassis Name: Upper Chassis
– Bay ID: 1
In the Flex System V7000 there is a command called
'lsenclosurechassis' which will report all of this information
to help locate an enclosure with a fault.
