3. Enter the controller name and partner controller name. You can specify a name
up to 12 characters. When you enter the partner controller name, the
merge-group information displays in the window.
Note: Names are case sensitive.
4. Select the SCSI initiator IDs which can be 6 or 7.
Note: The SCSI initiator IDs must be unique from the partner controller
initiator IDs. The default is 7.
5. If you want a logical drive to merge to another controller if this controller fails,
select the Shared box. Otherwise, if you do not want a logical drive to merge to
another controller, select the Non-shared box.
Note:
a. Non-shared is the default for all logical drives. The merge-group
number is defined as [200 + the SCSI initiator ID]. You cannot change
the merge-group number for a non-shared logical drive.
b. If a logical drive is defined as shared, all physical drives in the
logical drive must be on a shared channel.
6.
Enter a merge-group number for the shared logical drive. This merge-group
number must be unique from the partner controller (that is, the merge-group
number for any logical drive belonging to the partner controller cannot be the
same merge-group number).
Note: The default merge-group number is the logical-drive number.
7. Once you have configured both controllers for clustering, you can click View
shared drives to view the physical drives owned by a partner controller.
