lun configuration

[christian_derek]

Hi,

I just received a pre-configure rx7620 running 11i 11.23 that boot from a VA7110, the array came only with one lun, this system will only be attached to the hpux. I thought that an array had to have lun0 of 10mb dedicated for server communication and I thought that it was better to have 6-8 lun. What will be the impact of keeping the system like that and what are the recommendations if we should modify it.

Thanks,

If your server is the only OS instance with access to the array, you can leave as is.

In case of a multi host environment (or more than 1 partition), most OS needs to see the LUN 0 to find other LUNs. In this case you should have a LUN0 with a size of ~10 MB and enable all hosts to access this LUN.

So it will be ok to have only 1 lun for the entire system?

It is OK to have one LUN for vg00 in case of this kind of array.

Hi,

On my hpux host I need more disk space, in the command view, I currently see that I have 193gb of disk space not assign, what should I do?

I currently have lun 0 of 100gb attach to hpux 11.23 on my va7110.

I also have a logical volume call /data, should I create a new lun under a new vg and move /data there? What is the benefit of doing that?

Thanks,
