According to the disk capacity necessary for business or operation conditions, determine the logical
disk (LD) and hot spare configurations. For the 4000 series and the 3000 series, disk array
configurations are executed by maintenance personnel and therefore should be determined before
installation. To improve the access performance and keep tolerance against physical disk (PD) faults,
assign MV and RV to different ranks. MV and RV to be paired should have the same LD capacity.
If LD configuration is changed after starting the server, be sure to execute the create/display Volume
List command (iSMvollist -cr) after changing the configuration.
Figure 1-3 shows an example of setting five pairs.
Figure 1-3 LD Configuration Example (2000 series)
• The PD group number for PD and RANK is 00.
• One LD is associated with one RANK. (The whole area for one RANK is assigned to one LD.)
• LD00 and LD05 are in RAID5 (4+P) configuration.
• LD01 to LD04 and LD06 to LD09 are in RAID1 configuration.
• Each DE has two spare disks.
• LD00 to LD04 are used for MV and LD05 to LD09 are for RV.
* This configuration is just an example. Actual configuration should be determined based on your
business conditions.
