This section explains the preparations for setting up storage.
Supported Storage Configurations
The supported storage configurations are as follow:
Storage supported by RHEL5-Xen
For details on the storage supported by RHEL5-Xen, refer to the RHEL5-Xen manual.
Preparations for Storage Environments
Check the following:
Volumes (LUNs) to assign to the admin OS have already been created
The LUN must be larger than the size to allocate to the L-Server.
Zoning and affinity have been set
The LUN has already been set as the shared class of GDS
Start the name of the shared class and single disk with "rcx".
Do not overlap the class name within the VM hosts registered in Resource Orchestrator.
For details, refer to the ETERNUS and GDS manuals.
Information
Once the infrastructure administrator registers storage management software and VM host agents, a GDS single disk is detected as a virtual storage resource.
A name consisting of the GDS disk name connected by a hyphen to the GDS class name is used for the virtual storage resource name. However, when characters other than the following are included in the name, they are replaced with hyphens ("-").
When this product manages two or more storage management products, there may be multiple GDS single disks with the same name (combination of GDS class name and GDS disk name). In that case, the form of virtual storage resource names is the name + "_" + serial number (Example: "_1").
Numerals (0 to 9)
Alphabetical characters: upper case (A to Z), lower case (a to z)
Hyphens ("-") and underscores ("_")
