Hiding an Empty Backplane

By default, LSA displays all the empty backplanes connected to the controller in the Other Hardware tab. However, if you must hide the empty backplanes from showing up in the Other Hardware tab, perform the following steps:

  1. Stop the LSAService.
  2. Open the lsa.conf file in the LSIStorageAuthority/conf directory.
  3. In the LSA.conf file, search for empty_SGPIO_display field.

    Modify the existing or default value in the empty_SGPIO_display field to 0.

    • 0 – Disables the empty backplanes from showing up in the Other Hardware tab.

    • 1 – Enables the empty backplanes from showing up in the Other Hardware tab.

    By default, the empty_SGPIO_display field is set to 1.

  4. Start the LSAService once again.
