Add Virtual Disk Wizard - Partitioned Units and Ports Functionality
The Add Virtual Disk Wizard allows you to choose a port when adding a unit
based upon a partitioned set that is different from the port of a current unit that is
using the same partition.
Ensure that you use a LUN ID that corresponds to units that have already been
used for a partitioned storageset. For example, if a unit using a partitioned set has
a LUN ID below 100 (e.g., D55), then the subsequent units should also be below
100. Likewise, if a LUN ID is 100 or above, subsequent LUN IDs should also be
above 100.
LUN ID is set on Step 4 of the Add Virtual Disk Wizard.
NT Agent CCL Access Device Recognition
For ACS 8.5 and higher in SCSI-3, it is possible to have multiple CCLs based on
the unit offsets. Agent picks the last of the set as the access device. The CCLs will
not appear in the disk administrator, but are visible in the registry with their port,
target, and LUN. The CCL will show as CCLp:b:t:I, each with a different target
number (port bus target LUN, e.g., CCL2:1:1:0) in the storage.ini file.
In SCSI-2, you will only get one CCL, which is presented as an offline device in
disk administrator. This CCL will show as "PhysicalDrive#" in the storage.ini file.
Selecting Disk Drives When Creating Snapshots
When creating a snapshot, if you select disk drives of different sizes, Storage
Windows reports the size erroneously. Storage Window adds all selected devices
together for selected capacity. The selected capacity is actually the smallest drive
multiplied by the quantity of drives selected. Storage Windows will allow you to
proceed when you have inadequate storage selected. When you select drives of
different sizes, you should calculate the selected storage by multiplying the
smallest drive by the quantity of drives selected. If you select drives of the same
size, this feature functions properly.
Authorization Error when Adding the Server to the Command Console
If you receive an authorization error when you add a system to Command
Console, your Client system may be missing from the Agent's list of Client system
entries. If you have more than one type of Agent installed on that Agent system,
the name of your Client system must be on each Agent's list of Client system
entries.
