Virtual Partition Manager operations

Parent Topic

• Virtual Partition Manager

  Virtual Partition Manager enables the logical partitioning of cache into independently managed virtual machines. The number of partitions and partition sizes can be adjusted nondisruptively while the storage system is in operation. These partitions can be allocated dynamically to utilize resources based on changes in business requirements by assigning different I/O workloads to different areas of cache.

• System Option Modes for Virtual Partition Manager

  To provide greater flexibility, the storage systems have additional operational parameters called system option modes (SOMs) that allow you to tailor the storage system to your unique operating requirements. The SOMs are set on the service processor (SVP) by your service representative. Review the SOMs for your storage system, and work with your service representative to ensure that the appropriate SOMs for your operational environment are configured on your storage system.
