Verifying Installation
To verify installation for your OpenVMS host, enter the following command:
SHOW DEVICES
Your host computer should report that it sees a device whose designation matches
the identifier (CCL) that you assigned the controllers. For example, if you
assigned an identifier of 88, your host computer will see device $1$GGA88. This
verifies that your host computer is communicating with the controller pair.
Configuring Devices
The disks on the device bus of the HSG80 can be configured manually or with the
CONFIG utility. The CONFIG utility is easier. Invoke CONFIG with the
following command:
RUN CONFIG
WARNING: It is highly recommended to use the CONFIG utility only at
reduced I/O loads.
CONFIG takes about two minutes to discover and to map the configuration of a
completely populated storage system.
Configuring Storage Containers
For a technology refresher on this subject, refer to “Choosing a Container Type”
on page 60.
In choosing a container, you choose between independent disks (JBODs) or one of
several storageset types, as shown in Figure 33. The independent disks and the
selected storageset may also be partitioned.
The following configurations are detailed in the following sections:
■ Configuring a Stripeset, page 142
■ Configuring a Mirrorset, page 143
■ Configuring a RAIDset, page 144
