6.1.2 Enabling Failover During Installation
During SANsurfer installation, the system prompts you whether to enable failover. Enabling
failover notifies the SANsurfer utility how you want to create and validate the saved
configurations.
Selecting enable failover does not cause the platform-specific failover driver to load
automatically.
NOTE: Failover applies only to Linux hosts running the std driver.
6.1.3 Understanding the Displayed Hard Drive Size Under LUN Information
Two different measurement formats are used when displaying the hard drive size: decimal
(GB) and binary (GB).
Both Linux and Windows show the correct number using their numeric format:
♦ Windows uses binary (numbers that are a power of 2)
♦ Linux uses decimal (numbers that are a power of 10)
For example:
♦ 2^10 is 1,024. The closest decimal number is 10^3 or 1,000.
♦ 2^20 is 1,048,576. The closest decimal number is 10^6 or 1,000,000.
♦ 2^30 is 1,073,741,824. The closest decimal number is 10^9 or 1,000,000,000.
6.2 Windows
6.2.1 ConfigRequired Parameter
Under Windows, the ConfigRequired parameter in the registry dictates how devices are seen
by the OS.
When ConfigRequired=0, both persistently-bound and new devices appear as enabled. This
includes devices that might have been previously unconfigured using SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager. You can set this parameter in the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Driver Setting called
Present targets that are persistently bound plus any new target(s) found.
When ConfigRequired=1, only persistently bound devices appear as configured. New devices
or devices that were previously unconfigured using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager appear as
unconfigured. You can set this parameter in the Present target(s) that are persistently
bound only SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Driver Setting.
