2.8.9
Command Device Guarding
In the customer environment, a command device may be attacked by the maintenance
program of the Solaris Server, after that usable instance will be exhausted. As a result, CCI
instance could not start up on all servers (except attacked server). This may happen on
wrong operation of the maintenance personnel for the UNIX Server. In that case, the
command device needs some protection assumed a human error, as long as it can be seen as
the device file from the maintenance personnel.
Thus, RAID F/W (for the command device) and CCI support this protection in order to guard
from the similar access.
2.8.9.1
Guarding Method
Currently, assignment of the instance via the command device is ONE phase. Therefore, if
the command device will be read a special allocation area of the instance through the
maintenance tool and so on, then it causes a fault of full space of the instance, because the
command device interprets as assignment of the instance from RAID Manager.
The RAID Manager has TWO phases that it reads to acquire usable LBA, and writes with the
acquired LBA in attaching sequence to the command device, so the command device will be
able to confirm whether it was required as the assignment for RAID Manager or not, by
detecting and adding two status bits to the instance assignment table.
