Learn how to split the internal disks in the system or
enclosure into groups, which you can manage separately.
FC 5618 DASD backplane supports the Split DASD mode. Installing
FC 5631 (CCIN 2BE0, SAS Controller/Split DASD enablement card) enables
the split mode on the DASD backplane. The three SFF DASDs on the left
(from the front view) are assigned to the CCIN 2BE0, and the three
SFF DASD on the right are assigned to CCIN 572C (Integrated SAS controller).
Important: This configuration is not supported with the FC 5630
DASD backplane.
For more information on the installation
of the adapter, see Installing
PCI adapters.
Note: These
split DASD features must be installed while the system power is turned
off.
Partitioning: The split DASD mode can be useful
for partitioning. If setting up two distinct logical partitions (LPARs),
the resources associated with CCIN 2BE0 and 572C can be assigned to
two distinct partitions. For more information, see Logical
Partitioning.
You can now manage the disks as you would manage any other
disks.
