2 About Disk/Cache Partition This chapter provides a detailed description of Storage Logical Partition (SLPR) and Cache Logical Partition (CLPR). • Storage Logical Partition (SLPR), page 9 • Cache Logical Partition (CLPR), page 10 The storage systems can connect multiple hosts, and can be shared by multiple users, such as different departments or even different companies. This can cause conflicts among the various users. For example, if a particular host issues a lot of I/O requests, the I/O per

Figure 1 Storage Logical Partition (SLPR) . Cache Logical Partition (CLPR) If one storage system is shared with multiple hosts, and one host reads or writes a large amount of data, read and write data can require enough of the cache memory to affect other users. The cache logical partition function creates two or more virtual cache memories, with each allocated to a different host. This prevents contention for cache memory. Parity groups containing LDEVs that belong to the optional LDKC can be a

You can create up to 32 cache logical partitions in one storage system, including the default CLPR 0. See “Creating a Cache Logical Partition” on page 32 for instructions on creating cache logical partitions. Figure 2 illustrates a cache logical partition. Figure 2 Cache Logical Partition (CLPR) . Table 1 lists the recommended cache capacity, which is determined by the CLPR data capacity.
