Network Storage Overview
An understanding of a network storage environment is required before any
troubleshooting can take place.
Each Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ array can be structured to a maximum of two
different RAID volumes, or logical unit numbers (LUNs). This means that each array
can store information from two completely different applications or sources, but
both sources uniquely transmit their data delivery and retrieval through the same
host adapter.
The Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ array partner group consists of two independent
controller RAID units sharing only one of the controllers for system management. If
one controller fails, the system management facilities fail over to the other RAID
controller. This configuration gives the partner group redundancy.
Thus, when there is a Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ array partner group, which consists
of a minimum of two arrays, a maximum of four RAID volumes (LUNs) are
available to the server for data delivery and retrieval.
