Managing Arrays & Partitions
123
The LUN screen displays.
7
Select the LUN for the partition and press
Enter
.
The LUN that displays is the suggested default LUN assignment.
Note Most UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh operating systems require that the CAPI LUN, which is the LUN
assigned to each SM, be set to a higher value than all array LUNs. Before creating your first array, change
the CAPI LUN to a higher value. If you are using a custom software application to configure and manage
the Galaxy 65 subsystem (this application uses CAPI to communicate with the Galaxy 65), you must have
a CAPI LUN. If you are not using a custom application, and therefore are not using CAPI, select NONE
as the CAPI LUN. This allows your first array to be seen at LUN 0.
The system warns you about the LUN for UNIX and Macintosh, as above, the first time you create a
partition. Press
Enter
and the system asks if you want to be warned again. Select
No
to avoid receiving
this warning again, otherwise select Yes to be warned the next time you create a partition.
The system confirms that you want to make the change.
8 Select Yes and press Enter.
C.2.4 Verifying an Array
The Verify function allows you to verify the data on the specified array (RAID 3, RAID 4, RAID 5, RAID
50, and mirrored arrays only):
RAID 3, RAID 4, RAID 5 and RAID 50: Verifies all parity blocks in the selected array and corrects
any bad parity.
Mirrored: Compares the primary and secondary drives. If a mismatch occurs, the primary is copied
to the secondary.
