Maximum Supported Storageset Size With this release, Solaris can support storagesets up to 1.024 TB with the following limitations: ■ You cannot enter the LUN logical geometry manually Large SAN Considerations If you are having problems seeing LUNs, typically on a large - HP StorageWorks MA8000 | HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID A - Page 40
memory requirements have increased. A minimum of 256 MB of memory is required in the Sun server before loading the FC adapter drivers. Maximum Supported HBAs per System Board For Sun Enterprise machines (including E3000, E3500, E4500), the maximum number of adapters that may be installed in any - HP StorageWorks MA8000 | HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID A - Page 41
an adapter. 3. Select the adapter that you want to modify. 4. Follow the instructions to modify the number of LUNs/Target. Note: Do not enter more than 64 recognizes LUN 0 on each target. The HP RAID Manager software adds support for 16 LUNs per target, but Solaris still allows 256 queued commands - HP StorageWorks MA8000 | HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID A - Page 42
with a high number of large disks, the controller may specify a geometry that exceeds the parameters supported by the format command. The maximum values supported by Solaris (when manually configuring geometry) are: ■ 32,767 cylinders (including 2 alternate cylinders) ■ 64 heads ■ 256 sectors per - HP StorageWorks MA8000 | HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID A - Page 43
Host Operating System Notes To properly configure a storageset where the logical geometry exceeds these values, follow these steps: 1. Get the size of the storageset by performing a SHOW on the unit from the CLI on the array controller (e.g. SHOW D100). This results in a display with the following - HP StorageWorks MA8000 | HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID A - Page 44
system does not have enough virtual memory to fsck a large device. This is a known problem with fsck. The solution is to add swap space with the swap -a command. HP controller has not been tested and is not supported. 44 HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution Software V8.8 - HP StorageWorks MA8000 | HP StorageWorks HSG80 Enterprise Modular Storage RAID A - Page 45
and 2.6. This message is incorrect and should be ignored. See "System Components" on page 31, for supported O/S levels. Note: Virtual Disk Wizard in multi-bus failover mode is not supported with the Secure Path driver.
