Sun Microsystems SL500 manual Partition Boundaries

Partition Planning

■Logical unit number (LUN) of the partition on the host

See “Configure a Host-Partition Connection” on page 160 for detailed instructions on defining this information.

Partition Boundaries

Partition boundaries identify the storage cells, drives, and CAP cells that are part of each partition. Only unallocated cells can be added to a partition, and only allocated cells can be removed.

You can define partition boundaries in any of the following ways:

■Select individual cells or rectangular groups of cells to add or remove from a partition. Cells or cell groups do not have to be contiguous.

■Select an entire module side to add or remove from a partition. Sides do not have to be contiguous.

■Select an entire module to add or remove from a partition. Modules do not have to be contiguous.

Sample Partition Configuration

FIGURE 6-1 on page 147 shows a sample SL500 library partition configuration. In this example, there are three defined partitions:

■Partition 1

■Partition 2

■Partition 6
