Hi,

I installing a EVA4400 2C3D but when I power on the storage the ID of each disk enclouser from top to bottom is 02, 03, 01 but the correct ID should be 03, 02, 01?.

I attach the diagram of the EVA4400 2C3D Cabling.

It's not a problem. In the new EVAs, which use M6412 enclosures, there's no relation between enclosure numbering and the physical position of the enclosure. The enclosures are numbered in the sequence they are discovered.

Is the unit initialized yet?

if not, you can disconnect 2 of the shelves, reboot, initialize the eva than add the shelves one at a time to the loop.

As stated, the ID's do not necessarily need to be in sequential order.

Hello,

AFAIK is the ID fixed and will only be changed, if an Enclosure, which was alredy disconvered by an EVA controller, is added to an EVA, where the ID is already placed. Only in this case the ID will be chaned.

Best regards,
Patrick

Thanks all for your answers, I solved the problem making a physical move of the Disk Enclosure for have the ID of each disk enclosure from top to bottom is 01, 02, 03.
