Planning Storagesets

Planning and Configuring Storagesets

Use this procedure to plan and configure the storagesets for your subsystem. Use the

references in each step to locate details about specific commands and concepts.

1. Create a storageset and device profile. See “Creating a Storageset and Device

Profile,” page 4–5, for suggestions about creating a profile.

2. Determine your storage requirements. Use the questions in “Determining Storage

Requirements,” page 4–7, to help you.

3. Choose the type of storagesets you need to use in your subsystem. See “Choosing

a Storageset Type,” page 4–8, for a comparison and description of each type of

storageset.

4. Select names for your storagesets and units. See “Creating a Storageset Map,”

page 4–30, for details about selecting names.

5. Assign unit numbers to storagesets so the host can access the units. See“Creating

a Storageset Map,” page 4–30, for information about how to assign units

numbers to storagesets.

6. Create a storageset map to help you configure your subsystem. See “Creating a

Storageset Map,” page 4–30, for suggestions about creating a storageset map.

7. If you are going to partition your storagesets, plan the partitions. See “Planning

Partitions,” page 4–34, for information about partitions and how to plan for them.

8. Choose the switches that you will want to set for your storagesets and devices.

See“Choosing Switches for Storagesets and Devices,” page 4–36, for a

description of the switches you can select for storagesets.

9. Configure the storagesets you have planned using one of these methods:

■ Use StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC), a Graphical User Interface

(GUI), to set up and manage RAID storage subsystems. See the SWCC Getting

Started guide for details about using SWCC to configure your storagesets.

■ Use CLI commands. This method allows you flexibility in defining and naming

storagesets. See “Configuring Storagesets with CLI Commands,” page 6–2, for

information about configuring each type of storageset using CLI commands.
