Configuration settings for Xiotech Emprise systems

The Xiotech Emprise Storage Management GUI provides configuration settings and options that can be used with SAN Volume Controller clusters.

The only specific setting is the host operating system type: Windows® or Linux®. For SAN Volume Controller clusters, use Linux.

LU options and settings

Logical unit (LU) settings for the Xiotech Emprise system are configurable at the LU level.

Table 1 lists the options that must be set for each LU that is accessed by other hosts. LUs that are accessed by hosts can be configured differently. You can use the Xiotech Emprise Storage Management GUI or CLI to change these settings.

Host options and settings for Xiotech Emprise

You must use specific settings to identify SAN Volume Controller clusters as hosts to the Xiotech Emprise storage system.

A Xiotech Emprise host is a single WWPN; however, multiple WWPNs can be included in a single host definition on the Xiotech Emprise system.

A Xiotech Emprise host also can consist of more than one WWPN. The recommended method is to make each SAN Volume Controller node a Xiotech Emprise host and to make a Xiotech Emprise cluster that corresponds to all the nodes in the SAN Volume Controller cluster. To do this, include all of the SAN Volume Controller WWPNs under the same Xiotech Emprise host name.
