D-Series and G-Series Comparison

and Migration

The following topics are discussed in this appendix.

G-Series System Configuration Enhancements

The new subsystems (such as Kernel, SLSA, storage, and WAN) created for G-series

systems differ from the subsystems that exist on D-series systems in the following

ways:

•

The new subsystem managers are configured as generic processes rather than as

I/O processes. If a subsystem manager is abnormally terminated, the $ZPM

persistence manager immediately restarts it.

•

Processes created in the new subsystems are persistent. If the system comes

down, these processes are automatically restarted as soon as the system is

loaded. In contrast, devices and subdevices configured by nonpersistent

subsystems must be manually restarted after a system load.

•

If you are managing a system running D-series from a system running G-series,

you can use the D-series SCF commands and subsystems. The G-series

commands and subsystems, however, have no meaning on a system running

D-series. This is discussed further under Running SCF in a Network on page 1-14.

Table C-1 compares D-series and G-series system configuration.
