EMCFib re Channel Storage-System Configuration Planning

Planning File Systems and LUNs with Shared Switched Storage

Part of a sample LUN and Storage Group worksheet follows.

Completing the LUN and Storage Group Planning Worksheet

As shown, draw circles around the disks that will compose each

LUN, and within each circle specify the RAID type (for example,

RAID 5) and LUN ID. This is information you will use to bind the

disks into LUNs. For disk IDs, use the form shown. This form is

enclosure_diskID, where enclosure is the enclosure number (the botto m

one is 0, above it 1, and so on) and diskID is the disk position (left is 0,

next is 1, and so on).

None of the disks 0_0 through 0_8 may be used as a hot spare.

Next, complete as many of the Storage System sections as needed for

all the Storage Groups in the SAN. Copy the (blank) worksheet as

needed for all Storage Groups in each storage system.

A storage system is any group of enclosures connected to a DPE; it

can include up to 11 DAE enclosures for a total of 120 disks. I f a
