Configuration settings for Xiotech ISE systems
The Xiotech ISE Storage Management GUI provides configuration settings and options that can be used with IBM Spectrum Virtualize™ clustered systems.
The only specific setting is the host operating system type: Windows or Linux. This setting is irrelevant as it is not currently used by the system.
LU options and settings
Logical unit (LU) settings for the Xiotech ISE system are configurable at the LU level.
Table 1 lists the options that must be set for each LU that is accessed by other hosts. LUs that are accessed by hosts can be configured differently. You can use the Xiotech ISE Storage Management GUI or CLI to change these settings.
| Option | Data type | Range | Default | IBM Spectrum Virtualize setting | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | Int | 1 GB to 2 TB | No | Any | IBM Spectrum Virtualize supports up to 2 TB. |
Host options and settings for Xiotech ISE
You must use specific settings to identify IBM Spectrum Virtualize systems as hosts to the Xiotech ISE storage system.A Xiotech ISE host is a single WWPN; however, multiple WWPNs can be included in a single host definition on the Xiotech ISE system.
A Xiotech ISE host also can consist of more than one WWPN. The recommended method is to make each IBM Spectrum Virtualize node a Xiotech ISE host and to make a Xiotech ISE cluster that corresponds to all the nodes in the IBM Spectrum Virtualize system. To do this, include all of the IBM Spectrum Virtualize WWPNs under the same Xiotech ISE host name.
