Planning Storage Configurations
2–4 HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.7 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Installation and
Configuration Guide
NOTE: For the previous two storageset configurations, this is a combined maximum, limited to
no more than 20 RAID 3/5 storagesets in the individual combination.
• 8 partitions of a storageset or individual disk
• 6 physical devices per RAID 1 storageset (mirrorset)
• 14 physical devices per RAID 3/5 storageset (RAIDset)
• 24 physical devices per RAID 0 storageset (stripeset)
• 45 physical devices per RAID 0+1 storageset (striped mirrorset)
Addressing Conventions for Device PTL
The HSG80 controller has six SCSI device ports, each of which connects to a SCSI
bus. In dual-controller subsystems, these device buses are shared between the two
controllers. (The StorageWorks Command Console calls the device ports “channels.”)
The standard BA370 enclosure provides a maximum of four SCSI target
identifications (ID) for each device port. If more target IDs are needed, expansion
enclosures can be added to the subsystem. For an example of how units are mapped to
physical disk drives, see Figure 2–1.
