5.4.4 Larger Configurations
Larger configurations are possible using additional expansion units. Up to eight
expansion units are supported when connected to a Sun StorEdge 3510 FC RAID
array. Several such configurations are possible. For more detailed information, and
for suggestions about the most appropriate configurations for your applications and
environment, refer to the
Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Best Practices Manual for the Sun
StorEdge 3510 FC array.
5.5 Initial Configuration Steps
The topics in this section present both required and commonly used optional
procedures, which apply to both the point-to-point and loop mode configurations in
most cases.
Note – If you want to create logical volumes, refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family
RAID Firmware User’s Guide . Logical volumes are not widely used since they do not
allow partitions and limit the number of available LUNs.
Most of the configuration you do involves using firmware menus to change settings
on the array. However, each host platform involves some initial configuration as
well. Refer to the appendix for your host platform for instructions on how to connect
your host to an array, for host-specific instructions on recognizing and formatting
LUNs including modifying host configuration files, and for other platform-specific
details.
