Configuring Pillar Axiom systems
To use this external storage, you must configure Pillar Axiom systems for attachment to a SAN Volume Controller clustered system.
- Supported models of Pillar Axiom systems
SAN Volume Controller clustered systems can be used with some models of the Pillar Axiom series of systems. - Supported firmware levels of Pillar Axiom systems
You must ensure that the firmware level of the Pillar Axiom system can be used with the SAN Volume Controller clustered system. - Concurrent maintenance on Pillar Axiom systems
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to complete I/O operations to a Pillar Axiom system while simultaneously completing maintenance operations on it. - Pillar Axiom user interfaces
Ensure that you are familiar with the user interface applications that Pillar Axiom systems use. For more information, see the documentation that is included with the Pillar Axiom system. - Logical units and target ports on Pillar Axiom systems
For Pillar Axiom systems, logical units are enumerated devices that have the same characteristics as LUNs. - Switch zoning limitations for Pillar Axiom systems
Switch zoning has limitations for SAN Volume Controller clustered systems and Pillar Axiom systems. - Configuration settings for Pillar Axiom systems
The AxiomONE Storage Services Manager provides configuration settings and options that can be used with SAN Volume Controller clustered systems. - Quorum disks on Pillar Axiom systems
The SAN Volume Controller clustered system selects managed disks (MDisks) that are presented by Pillar Axiom systems as quorum disks. - Copy functions for Pillar Axiom systems
Advanced copy functions for Pillar Axiom systems (for example, Snap FS, Snap LUN, Volume Backup, Volume Copy, and Remote Copy) cannot be used with disks that are managed by the SAN Volume Controller clustered system.
