Chapter 2 Monitoring Disk Resources

Table of Contents

This section recommends ways to configure requests to the disk monitor for most high availability configurations.

You can monitor the following SE (single-ended) or F/W (fast/wide)SCSI disks:

Hewlett-Packard High Availability Disk Array, Models 10, and 20
Hewlett-Packard Disk Array with AutoRAID, Models 12 and 12H
EMC Symmetrix arrays
High Availability Storage System
Single-spindle SCSI disks

HP-IB and HP-FL disks are not supported by the disk monitor. FiberChannel disks are not yet supported.

You should be familiar with how the physical and logical volumes are configured on all the nodes in your system and whether disks are configured with redundant PV links, mirroring, or both, or whether they are standalone disks. See HP-UX System Administration Tasks. For more information on configuring disks in a high availability environment, see the technical whitepaper Choosing the Right Disk Technology in a High Availability Environment by Bob Sauers. Other information is available from the high availability web site at http://www.hp.com/go/ha.
