Abstract:
1. An information handling system comprising: a first backplane including a first storage enclosure processor; a second backplane including a second storage enclosure processor, wherein the second backplane has a different type of storage technology than the first backplane; a first storage drive connected to the first backplane; a second storage drive connected to the second backplane; and a board management controller in communication with the storage enclosure processor and with the storage drive, the board management controller configured to discover a first physical drive status of the first storage drive from the second storage enclosure processor and a second physical drive status of the second storage drive from the second storage enclosure processor, to receive a first logical drive status of the first storage drive and a second logical drive status of the second storage drive, to read a backplane bay identification for the storage drive from a peripheral connector interface express extender or serial attached small computer system interface chipset logical drive number, and to construct a routing table for the first storage drive to map the first logical drive status with the first physical drive status and for the second storage drive to map the second logical drive status with the second physical drive status.
