Table 3. Configuration requirements of the 5802 disk subsystem (continued)
Configuration features
Configuration requirements
Four hard-disk-drive partitions:
v
Partition 1: Drives 01-05
v
Partition 2: Drives 06-09
v
Partition 3: Drives 10-14
v
Partition 4: Drives 15-18
This configuration is optimized for boot partitions.
For related physical cabling, see Figure 17 on page 16.
Operating system: AIX or Linux
SAS adapter card: One (FC 5901) PCIe Dual - X4 SAS
adapter is required for each of the four disk partitions
with an installed disk drive.
Hard-disk-drive partitions switch: position 4
Cables: One (FC 3688) SAS (AT) 0.6 meter is required
for each FC 5901 driving one of the four disk
partitions.
Note:
You must have one (FC 5901) PCIe Dual - X4 SAS
adapter and one (FC 3688) SAS 0.6 meter cable for every
disk partition that has an installed internal disk drive.
Figure 11. Physical cabling example: Two hard-disk-drive partitions with nine disks per hard-disk-drive partition, dual
SAS adapters, and hard-disk-drive partitions switch position 2
Figure 12. Physical cabling example: One hard-disk-drive partition with 18 disks, a single SAS adapter, and
hard-disk-drive partitions switch position 1
