Storage System Configurations
This chapter explains the various CHALLENGE RAID configurations. Use it
to plan your storage system or whenever you contemplate changes in your
storage system or physical disk configuration.
A CHALLENGE RAID storage system is configured on two levels:
•
Storage-system configuration: number of storage-control processors and
SCSI-2 interfaces
•
Disk configuration within the storage system
Before you can plan your disk configuration, you must understand storage
system configuration. Several storage system configurations are available
for CHALLENGE RAID storage systems. Table 2-1 lists the hardware
components making up each configuration and summarizes the features of
each.
This chapter discusses these configurations in separate sections. Each section
explains the error recovery features of the configuration.
