Logical Configuration Window - ICP RS Series User Manual

K.5 Logical Configuration Window
This window shows the logical configuration of Host Drives, Array Drives and Logical Drives
controlled by the selected ICP Controller. The complete configuration is shown as a tree
starting from the left with the Host Drives, followed by the Array Drives (if RAID is config-
ured), the Logical Drives and the Physical Drives. To get detailed information on the single
devices, double click on the icons. The windows that will open then, depend on the type of
the device.
To change the logical configuration of the drives, click the right mouse button on the de-
sired drive or select the suitable option from the configuration menu.
Host Drives
These are the drives "visible" to the operating system.
Icon
Normal Host Drive
This Host Drive belongs to the selected ICP Controller on a non clustering I/O
channel.
Local mounted Cluster Drive
A Cluster Drive is a Host Drive on a clustering I/O channel.
This Host Drive is mounted on the selected ICP Controller.
Clustering means that two or more servers share resources. In case of one server
failing these resources move over to another valid server. The hard disks used for clustering
are physically not connected with just one ICP Controller, but with several ICP Controllers
in different servers (shared I/O channels).
Only one server can own a Host Drive at the same time, so a Host Drive configured for clus-
tering may either be controlled by the selected ICP Controller (i.e., local mounted) or by a
different ICP Controller (i.e., remote mounted).
You may only change the configuration of a local mounted Host Drive.
