supports a maximum

of 512 disks.

Before beginning to configure virtual volumes, you need to know which
storage devices are available. Use the CLI command storage show to
show the available storage devices and their corresponding aliases needed
to configure volumes

The storage device operating status has four options.

ƒ

Enabled denotes an attached and functioning storage device.

ƒ

Storage is missing denotes that a storage device was previously
registered and has since lost its connection to the V-Switch.

ƒ

Invalid denotes a storage device that was connected, removed and
reconnected with a different storage size.

ƒ

Unknown denotes that a storage device is connected but is issuing
parameters not understandable to the V-Switch.

If a subdisk has been created on a disk, the subdisk status in the disk details
will display split. If no subdisks were created, the subdisk status will display
entire.

Not all storage

devices are able to

support this feature.

The V-Switch automatically generates and assigns storage aliases as each
device is discovered. Use the CLI command storage blink activate
to identify the actual physical device for an alias.
