9176/D173 D
ISK SUBSYSTEM - SITE PREPARATION GUIDE 7
S
IXTH EDITION
See Appendix A for more feature codes for the StorageTek 9176 Disk Subsystem. When
ordering a storage subsystem, it is advised that you create a system floorplan and measure
the cable-layout distances between your host servers, hubs, switches, and the storage
subsystems. Also remember that there are network trade-offs that you may face depending
on what you attach and how you attach it. Performance is limited by your bandwidth; and
both network activity and storage capacity have an impact on your overall system
performance. Consult you StorageTek representative for advice on how best to configure
your computing network.
StorageTek’s partitioning software can also help ensure that your network runs as
efficiently as possible; and the right marriage between hardware and software is of
paramount importance to StorageTek and your business operations.
A new heterogeneous level of Object Manager 7.10 software is now available. This
software, in combination with the 4.01 level of firmware enables multiple hosts to be
attached to a StorageTek Disk subsystem. Host attachments may now have up to 16
storage partitions with a maximum of 32 volumes per partition, and up to a maximum of
128 volumes overall. For more information, refer to the reference documents and to the
power point 9176 configuration presentation, P/N 96034.
NOTE This presentation, as well as the D173 configuration presentation, can be
downloaded from the engineering web pages.
