•Operating system(s) might boot from the array. Operating using a protected capacity decreases the chance of server downtime. The logical arrays can be associated with different controller IDs on different host channels so that if a cable link fails, the host can still access the arrays through another channel link. File locking or access management utilities will be necessary to avoid access conflicts.
•Depending on I/O characteristics, each configured array should be properly optimized either for Random or Sequential I/Os.
•Multiple logical drives or multiple RAID partitions can be created and made available separately through different ID/LUNs on the host ports.
