Storage devices

PMAC provides an interface to facilitate storage device configuration. It is the application that runs on this platform that determines the requirements of the configuration. This section provides general guidelines on how to use the interface. It is expected that these guidelines will require customization to meet the needs of the applications being used.

The interface consists of a GUI page, sample XML files used to specify the configuration or to remove an existing configuration, and a background task. The sample XML files are provided with PMAC and are edited with site-specific information. The configuration specified in the XML file(s) is applied to the hardware via an option on the PMAC GUI. Processing occurs in the background, and the user is provided the capability to monitor the background task's progress.

Note:

This interface is not intended for general customer use and should be used only as directed by My Oracle Support.

Caution:

The order in which Vdisks, Host Volumes, Global Spares are created or deleted is important. The procedures in this section do not state or imply the order to use. The operator with site-specific knowledge has the responsibility to configure the Vdisks, Host Volumes, and Global Spares in the proper order.
