Saving HSG60 Configurations to Previously Initialized
Storagesets
If any storageset within the configuration was previously initialized with the
INITIALIZE container-name SAVE_CONFIGURATION command to
save your configuration to disk, it will not be necessary to reconfigure your
devices with a new HSG60 controller. SAVE_CONFIGURATION also retains
code patch information to the software. This option is supported on single
controller configurations only.
ACS V8.8 saves any installed software patches on disks initialized with the
SAVE_CONFIGURATION option. To replace a controller and restore the
configuration from a disk, you will not have to reinstall any software patches.
Configuration information cannot be retrieved from storagesets created on other
HSx controllers (for example, HSD, HSJ, or HSZ controllers). You can only
restore a configuration from a configuration saved on HSG60 array controllers.
SWCC Client Installation
SWCC employs different applets for different controllers. The SWCC client
installation will differ between HSG60 and HSG80. The SWCC Agent and HBA
drivers are identical for HSG60 and HSG80 array controllers.
SCSI Bus Limitation
The array controller firmware can address up to 14 disks per SCSI bus.
■ Since the HSG60 array controller has two SCSI buses, the maximum number
of disks supported is 28. The SCSI-2 bus can not be configured split-bus.
