4–22Configuring Storagesets

SCSI-2 Mode

As you add storage units and set SCSI IDs over the CCL or above its location, the CCL immediately and automatically moves into the next available free space, which would be the lowest available Target ID/LUN setting.

IMPORTANT: If you delete a unit at a setting below the CCL setting, the CCL does not automatically move to that setting. Instead, it only moves to the lowest deleted unit’s setting when you restart the controller.

SCSI-3 Mode

The CCL always remains in a fixed location. It is always located at LUN 0 of every target ID. If you have the CCL enabled, the controller will let you configure a device above LUN 0 of each target ID.
