Chapter 8. Administration - Configure 195

Heterogeneous hosts
When implementing a DS3000 storage server, you can use a mixture of different operating
systems and clustered and non-clustered variants of the same operating systems. However,
all logical drives in a single storage partition must be configured for the same operating
system. Also, all hosts in that same storage partition must run the same defined operating
system. Before connecting the systems, always check the latest interoperability information
at:

8.6.2 Configuring storage partitioning
1. From the Configure tab (Figure 8-14 on page 143) select Create Host-to-Logical Drive
Mappings.
2. The wizard starts (Figure 8-76). Select the host or the host group, which you want to
assign to a logical drive. We configured the hosts in 8.2, “Configure hosts” on page 142. If
you have not created all required hosts and host groups yet, do this before continuing this
wizard. You will see displayed the current number of partitions used, and the maximum
number of partitions allowed.
The partitions are managed automatically for you by Storage Manager - you do not need
to create or delete them - they will be created and the number used will be updated
whenever a new partition is required by a particular host/LUN mapping.
Select a host group (like in Figure 8-76) or a single host and click Next.
