Is there a way wherein we could partition the subsystem? The SAN is using iScsi ports.Thanks!" |

| That sounds like something that you should ask you SAN equipment vendor, or maybe read about in the manual.CODO ERGO SUM |

What kind of SAN is this again???  Also, why are you accessing the system directly with telnet. You should be using the management tools that come with the SAN. "How" you partition the subsystem varies by vendor. Basically, you need to setup RAID groups and LUNs (or some variation thereof), and allow them to be presented to hosts. It doesn't really matter if you're using iSCSI ports for what you're talking about. Who gave you a SAN? MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
