Viewing a List of Concatenated Parity Groups
The storage system supports concatenation of parity groups. If parity groups are concatenated, a
logical volume can be dispersed across the concatenated parity groups. Dispersal of logical volumes
can provide faster access to data (particularly, faster sequential access to data).
NOTE:
Only an HP service representative can concatenate parity groups. If you have any questions
about concatenation of parity groups, ask your HP service representative.
You can confirm whether a logical volume is dispersed across two or more parity groups. If the
logical volume is dispersed across parity groups, a dialog box appears and displays a list of the
parity groups.
