Planning a Subsystem
This chapter provides information that helps you plan how to configure the storage
array subsystem. This chapter focuses on the technical terms and knowledge needed to
plan and implement storage subsystems.
NOTE: This chapter frequently references the command line interface (CLI). For the complete
syntax and descriptions of the CLI commands, see the StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller
ACS Version 8.7 CLI Reference Guide.
The following information is included in this chapter:
• “Defining Subsystems,” page 1–2
• “What is Failover Mode?,” page 1–5
• “Selecting a Cache Mode,” page 1–9
• “Enabling Mirrored Caching,” page 1–10
• “What is the Command Console LUN?,” page 1–11
• “Determining Connections,” page 1–13
• “Assigning Unit Numbers,” page 1–16
• “What is Selective Storage Presentation?,” page 1–21
IMPORTANT: DILX should be run for ten minutes on all units to delete the 8 MB EISA partition.
Refer to StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.7 CLI Reference Guide for
details.
Refer to Chapter 2 when planning the types of storage containers you need. Storage
containers are individual disk drives (JBOD), storageset types (mirrorsets, stripesets,
and so on), and/or partitioned drives.
