Configuration settings for IBM® DS5000, IBM DS4000, and IBM DS3000 systems

The system configuration interface provides configuration settings and options that can be used with the Lenovo Storage V7000clustered system.

These settings and options can have the following scope:
  • System
  • Logical unit (LU)
    • The Lenovo Storage V7000 system attempts to follow preferred ownership that is specified by the system. You can specify which controller (A or B) is used to perform I/O operations to a given LU. If the Lenovo Storage V7000 system can see the ports of the preferred controller and no error conditions exist, the Lenovo Storage V7000 system accesses that LU through one of the ports on that controller. Under error conditions, the ownership is ignored.
    • You must have the following options enabled on any LUs that are mapped to the Lenovo Storage V7000 system:
      • read caching
      • write caching
      • write cache mirroring
    • You must not have caching without batteries enabled.
