Exploiting SSA Disk Subsystems in Sun Solaris Platform Environments

Redbooks logo

An IBM Redbooks publication

Abstract

This IBM Redbooks publication demonstrates how to install and use IBM SSA disk subsystems in non-IBM platform environments using SCSI-SSA "bridging technology" and native SSA adapter card technology. This bridging technology and native-SSA-attach capability enables SUN, HP, and DEC operating systems to connect to SSA disk subsystems using either native bus attachment or conversion box technology.
This book also provides a broad understanding of the IBM 7190 SCSI Host to SSA Loop Attachment and the IBM SSA Interface Controller for Sun SBus adapters. It will help the systems administrator know when to use these devices in the SSA configuration. These devices allow the attachment of SSA disk devices to Sun servers. This book describes the technologies, and shows the processes involved in planning and designing your configuration, as well as how to install, configure, migrate and maintain the storage network.
