Appendix B Using a Standalone JBOD Array (Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array Only) B-3
B.4 Known Limitations Affecting Sun
StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD Arrays
Limitations affecting the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD array are listed below:
■ Booting from a JBOD disk is not supported in this release.
■ The mpxio functionality of Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation Suite 4.2 software is
not supported with Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays.
■ Only Sun hosts running the Solaris operating system are supported in this release.
■ Sun Cluster software is not supported in this release.
■ VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) software is not supported in this release.
■ Only direct-attached single-host connections to a single JBOD are supported in
this release. There is no multihost support in this release. Fibre Channel switches
are not supported in this release. Daisy-chaining is not supported in this release.
■ Sun Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment (StorADE) 2.3 software is not
supported in this release.
■ Do not use the luxadm utility to diagnose or manage Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD
arrays.
■ Sun StorEdge Configuration Service software supports Sun StorEdge 3510 FC
JBOD arrays. However, since Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays do not have a
RAID controller to manage the disks, this software support is necessarily limited.
Monitoring functionality that does not require a RAID controller works the same
way it does for RAID arrays. See “Using Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Software
Monitoring and Management Tools with JBOD Arrays” on page B-4 for more
specific information.
■ Similarly, Sun StorEdge Diagnostic Reporter support for standalone JBOD arrays
is limited to functionality that can work without a RAID controller.
■ The Sun StorEdge CLI supports Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays. However,
because Sun StorEdge 3510 FC JBOD arrays do not have a RAID controller to
manage the disks, this CLI support is limited.
