Example 2
Example 2 will create two UDVs in one VG. One UDV shares global cache volume while the other
uses dedicated cache volume. First, a dedicated cache volume should be created; it will be useful in
creating UDV. The last protion will show how to delete all confi gurations.
Each UDV is associated with one specifi c CV (cache volume) to execute the data transmission. Each
CV could have different cache memory size. If there is no special request in UDVs, it will use global
cache volume. User can create a dedicated cache for individual UDV manually. Using dedicated
cache volume, the performance would not be affected by the data access of other UDVs that using
global CV.
The total cache size depends on the RAM size and all the size will be confi gured as global spare
cache automatically. To create a dedicated cache volume, the fi rst step is to cut down the global
spare cache size for the dedicated cache volume.
Step 1 Create dedicated cache volume
Figure 4.6.6.8
1. Select “/Volume confi g/Cache volume”.
2. If there is no enough space for creating a new dedicated cache volume, cut down the global spare
cache size fi rst by clicking the blue button “ ” in the size fi eld. After re-allocation of the volume
size, click “ ” to return to cache volume page
3. Click “ ” to enter the confi gure page
4. Fill in the size and click “ ”
Remind : The minimum size of global cache volume is 40MB. The minimum size of dedicated cache volume is 20MB.
Step 2 Create VG (Volume Group)
To create the VG, please follow the steps below.
1. Select “/Volume confi g /Volume group”
2. Click “ ”
3. Input a VG Name. Choose a RAID level from the list. Click “ ” to choose the
the physical disk in the RAID, click “ ”. Since we will create a spare disk, do not
select all disk and leave one physical disk for spare disk creation.
4. Confi rm the results. Click “ ” if all the settings are correct
5. A VG will be created after the confi rmation.
