Where:
Device Name
is the name of the device
ACSL
is the SCSI address of the physical device
Total Sectors
is the size of the device
Category
is the current category of the device (unassigned, virtual or service-enabled). All of
the devices are "Unassigned" at this point because they are not prepared or assigned to any
storage pool, which you will do later.
Note:
Not all devices are shown in the example above.
Notice the two shaded devices in the example above are smaller in size than the other devices.
These smaller devices will not be configured like the other devices. These are the configuration
devices, which you will allocate differently from the other storage devices.
Using the ACSL value, one device will be assigned to Memory Gateway A (98:0:4:2) and one
to Memory Gateway B (98:0:5:2). They will be configured later to store gateway configuration.
Note that the storage assigned to Memory Gateway A will be available for use as dedup LUNs.
If you need more dedup capability, then assign more storage to Memory Gateway A. If you are
not using dedup, you may want to assign a balance of storage between the two Memory
Gateways.
You do not need to assign all the storage at this time. As your requirements for storage evolve,
assign the space that is not currently prepared to either Memory Gateway depending on where
it is needed.
