Though there are some options in it now to handle JBODs like your DS2300, you can live perfectly without that piece of SW.<BR /><BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />Bernhard<BR /> Tue, 20 Jan 2004 10:59:23 GMT Bernhard Mueller 2004-01-20T10:59:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/do-i-need-command-view-sdm/m-p/3168678#M10807 In reviewing my upcoming support contract, I see that I am paying on a Command View SDM LTU, I'm wondering why I need this software LTU. AFAIK it's not installed on my system. I have an rp5470 with a DS2300 attached, best I can tell the software is for the VA series storage. Am I seeing this correctly or just confused.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR />Andy Tue, 20 Jan 2004 10:33:23 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/do-i-need-command-view-sdm/m-p/3168678#M10807 Andy Beal 2004-01-20T10:33:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/do-i-need-command-view-sdm/m-p/3168679#M10808 Andy,<BR /><BR />you are correct, you do not really need Command View to manage your JBOD.
