Hi,
I am working through the set up of our SAN. I have two XServe RAIDs
that
are going to be part of the SAN. When I first started I had one set up
with two 7 disk arrays level 5. The second RAID I am only using the
part
of the lower controller for the SAN at this point. So I only have the
lower controller connected to the SAN's switch. The Upper
Controller is
attached directly to an XServe as JDB. The first three disks on the
lower controller form an array that is already formatted and mounted
again as disk space.
So when I first set up the SAN the Setup window for the LUNs showed
three LUNs, 2 1.37 TB LUNs and one 467.5 GB LUN.
As I moved forward, I decided that I really did not want to do
this, so
I broke the two 1.37 GB Arrays into 4 arrays (two on each
controller) of
467.5GB. I let those create over the weekend and came in expecting to
find 5 LUNs in the XSan Admin LUN setup window. But to my dismay, it
still showed three unlabeled LUNs (2 x 1.37TB, 1 x 467.5GB).
So then I tried deleting one of the two arrays on a controller,
leaving
only the one array and four blank disks). Still the setup tool shows 3
LUNS (2 x 1.37TB, 1 x 467.5GB). So then I tried slicing one of the
remaining arrays into four slices. Still only three LUNs show up in
the
setup tool.
So then I went to the command line and listed the LUNs using the
cvlabel
tool. Again only three show up.
I am totally missing something here? In the manual it says that a
LUN =
an array or slice created in the RAID Admin tool. But what it looks
like
is that a LUN = a controller, no matter how many or how few arrays or
slices of an array are created on that controller.
HELP.
Thanks!
Robert
