For example, only the sequential cache optimization mode can be used. Other important limitations may exist. A Sun StorEdge 3510 FC array with more than two expansion units is a high capacity configuration.
Page 80: Setting Loop Ids On Expansion Units
4.11 Setting Loop IDs on Expansion Units When an expansion unit is attached to a RAID array, unique, hard-assigned loop IDs are assigned to each expansion unit drive. A loop ID is the decimal version of an arbitrated loop physical address (AL_PA). The lowest number loop ID is the lowest priority address on the loop.

This chapter covers the following topics: “Controller Defaults and Limitations” on page 5-2 “Planning for Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability”...
Page 86: Controller Defaults And Limitations
Controller Defaults and Limitations This section describes default configurations and certain controller limitations. 5.1.1 Planning for Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability The Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC array entry-level configurations include only one controller. You can mirror two single-controller arrays using volume manager software on attached servers to ensure high reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS).
Page 87 a field-replaceable unit (FRU) controller, the array automatically compares the firmware versions of the two controllers. If they differ, the FRU controller firmware is automatically changed to that of the existing controller in the array. The controller firmware assumes that two controllers are available, or might be made available during operation at any time.
Page 88: Single-Controller Considerations
5.1.3 Single-Controller Considerations In a single-controller configuration, it is important to review the following guidelines: In a single-controller configuration, keep the controller as the primary controller at all times and assign all logical drives to the primary controller. The primary controller controls all logical drive and firmware operations.
Page 89: Write-Back And Write-Through Cache Options
5.1.4 Write-Back and Write-Through Cache Options Unfinished writes are cached in memory in write-back mode. If power to the array is discontinued, data stored in the cache memory is not lost. Battery modules can support cache memory for 72 hours. Write cache is not automatically disabled when the battery is offline due to battery failure or a disconnected battery.
Page 90: In-Band Connection
5.2.2 In-Band Connection With in-band host connections, you can use Sun StorEdge Configuration Service software or the command-line interface (CLI). Refer to the: Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User’s Guide for the in-band setup procedures Sun StorEdge 3000 Family CLI User’s Guide Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Software Installation Guide.
Page 91 6. (Optional) Configure host channels as drive channels. See “Configuring FC Channels as a Host or Drive Channel (Optional)” on page 6-5. 7. Confirm or change the Fibre Connection Option (point-to-point or loop). See “Choosing Loop or Point-to-Point Fibre Connection” on page 6-7.
Page 92 Note – Each operating environment or operating system has a method for recognizing storage devices and LUNs and might require the use of specific commands or the modification of specific files. Be sure to check the information for your operating environment to ensure that you have performed the necessary procedures.
Page 93: Point-To-Point Configuration Guidelines
5.3.1 Point-to-Point Configuration Guidelines Remember the following guidelines when implementing point-to-point configurations in your array and connecting to fabric switches: The default mode is “Loop only.” You must change the Fibre Channel Connection mode to “Point-to-point only” with the firmware application (see “Choosing Loop or Point-to-Point Fibre Connection”...
Page 94: A San Point-To-Point Configuration Example
Caution – In point-to-point mode or in public loop mode, only one switch port is allowed per channel. Connecting more than one port per channel to a switch can violate the point-to-point topology of the channel, force two switch ports to “fight” over an AL_PA (arbitrated loop physical address) value of 0 (which is reserved for loop to fabric attachment), or both.
Page 95 When you use fabric point-to-point (F_port) connections between a Sun StorEdge 3510 or 3511 FC array and fabric switches, the maximum number of LUNs is limited to 128 LUNs for a nonredundant configuration and is limited to 64 LUNs for a redundant configuration. Fibre Channel standards allow only one ID per port when operating point-to- point protocols, resulting in a maximum of four IDs with a maximum of 32 LUNs for each ID, and a combined maximum of 128 LUNs.
Page 96 The port bypass circuit on each channel connects the upper and lower ports on the same channel and provides access to both controllers at the same time. If there are two host connections to the upper and lower ports on Channel 0, and one host connection is removed, the other host connection remains operational.

Each Fibre Channel device is assigned a unique identifier called a world wide name (WWN).
Page 150: Creating Host Filter Entries
Prior to using the LUN Filter feature, identify which array is connected to which HBA card, and the WWN assigned to each card. This procedure varies according to the HBA you are using. Refer to the appendix for your host for instructions on identifying the WWN for your host.

Page 155 Note – If no host has been granted access to the selected LUN (by having its Filter Type set to Include), all hosts can access that LUN. In this configuration, you can deny specific hosts access to that LUN by configuring their Filter Type to Exclude. Once any host is granted access to the LUN, only hosts with explicit access (Filter Type set to Include) can access that LUN.
Page 156 11. Verify all settings and press Esc to continue. Note – Unlike most firmware operations where you must complete each entry individually and repeat the procedure if you want to perform a similar operation, you can add multiple WWNs to your list before you actually create the host filter entry in Step 13.

Page 158: Saving Configuration (Nvram) To A Disk
# reboot -- -r 6.2.5 Saving Configuration (NVRAM) to a Disk You can back up your controller-dependent configuration information. Use this function to save configuration information whenever you change your array’s configuration. The controller-dependent configuration information is stored in the disk reserved space of all drives that have been configured into logical drives.
Page 159: Using Software To Monitor And Manage The Sun Storedge Fibre Channel Array
If you prefer to save and restore all configuration data, including LUN mapping information, use Sun StorEdge Configuration Service and CLI software in addition to saving your NVRAM controller configuration to disk. The information saved this way can be used to rebuild all logical drives and therefore can be used to completely duplicate an array configuration to another array.
Page 160: Other Supported Software
6.3.1 Other Supported Software Multipathing for the Sun StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC arrays is provided by Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software. Multipathing software is required when you have multiple connections from a server to an array (directly or through a switch), want to avoid a single point of failure, and are setting up a configuration with redundant pathing.

Page 180: Channel Status Table
A physical drive has a USED status when it was once part of a logical drive but no longer is. This can happen, for instance, when a drive in a RAID 5 array is replaced by a spare drive and the logical drive is rebuilt with the new drive. If the removed drive is later reinstalled in the array and scanned, the drive status is identified as USED because the drive still has data on it from a logical drive.
Page 181: Table 8-5 Parameters Displayed In The Channel Status Table
The Channel Status Table is displayed with the status of all channels on the array. Note – Each controller has a separate RS232 port, as well as an Ethernet port. This architecture ensures continuous communication should a controller fail. Since the connection is established with only one controller (even when the array is in redundant mode), the CurSyncClk and CurWid settings are displayed for the connected controller.

Page 200: Raid Luns Not Visible To The Host
RAID LUNs Not Visible to the Host Caution – When mapping partitions to LUN IDs, there must be a LUN 0. Otherwise, none of the LUNs will be visible. By default, all RAID arrays are preconfigured with one or two logical drives. For a logical drive to be visible to the host server, its partitions must be mapped to host LUNs.
Page 201: Rebuilding Logical Drives
A failed controller is managed by the surviving controller, which disables and disconnects from its counterpart while gaining access to all the signal paths. The surviving controller then manages the ensuing event notifications and takes over all processes. It is always the primary controller regardless of its original status, and any replacement controller afterward assumes the role of the secondary controller.
