Configuring Texas Memory Systems RamSanSolid State Storage systems

Texas Memory Systems (TMS) RamSan systems must be configured for attachment to a node.

TMS RamSan Solid State Storage supported models
The system can be used with the RamSan Solid State Storage systems.
Supported TMS RamSan firmware levels
You must ensure that the RamSan firmware level can be used with the clustered system.
Concurrent maintenance on RamSan systems
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to complete I/O operations while you simultaneously complete maintenance operations on the RamSan system.
RamSan user interfaces
You can configure a RamSan system through a web GUI based on Java or a command-line interface (CLI). You can also complete some system-critical operations by using the front panel on the RamSan system.
Logical units and target ports on RamSan systems
Partitions on RamSan systems are exported as logical units (LUs) with a logical unit number (LUN) that is assigned to the partition.
Switch zoning for RamSanstorage systems
Switch zoning configurations for the RamSan system include considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting, and controller splitting.
Configuration settings for RamSan systems
The RamSan GUI provides configuration settings and options that can be used with the system.
Quorum disks on RamSan systems
The system selects managed disks (MDisks) that are presented by RamSan systems as quorum disks. To maintain availability with the system, ensure that each quorum disk resides on a separate disk system.
Copy functions for RamSan systems
The RamSan system does not provide copy, replicate, or SnapShot features. The RamSan system also does not provide thin provisioning.
