Hi,

I have re-arranged my server setup so I now have both Drobopros attached via iscsi to the same Centos-based machine (each on it's own port on an Intel quad port ethernet card).

Everything is working fine, but I cannot figure out how to direct configuration commands to a specific Drobo.

The only thing I came up with was shut everything down, disconnect one then restart - that way I knew which one I was working with.

Hopefully it's not something I have to do again for a long time, but I'm curious if it's possible to address each unit separately via Drobo utils?


Rob.

you need to know which /dev/sd each unit is associated with... Once you do:

drobom -d /dev/sdx ...
drobom -d /dev/sdy ...

should work... It has been a long time...

Hi Peter,

sorry for the delay replying, only just had chance to try it..
 
drobom -d /dev/sdx ...
drobom -d /dev/sdy ...

This works perfectly, many thanks.
