In Example 8-10 the MDisk group has 4,896,262,717,440 free bytes (1520 GiB x 3).Example 8-10 Listing the free capacity of the MDisk group<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svcinfo lsmdiskgrp -bytes 4free_capacity 4896262717440All three MDisks are set to be quorum disks, as shown in Example 8-11.Example 8-11 Setting <strong>XIV</strong> MDisks as quorum disks<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svctask setquorum -quorum 0 mdisk9<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svctask setquorum -quorum 1 mdisk10<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svctask setquorum -quorum 2 mdisk11The MDisk group has now lost free space, as shown in Example 8-12.Example 8-12 Listing free space in the MDisk group<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svcinfo lsmdiskgrp -bytes 4free_capacity 4893041491968This means that free capacity fell by 3,221,225,472 bytes, which is 3 GiB or 1 GiB per quorumMDisk.Note: In this example all three quorum disks were placed on a single <strong>XIV</strong>. This may not bean ideal configuration. The Web tip referred to at the start of this section has more detailsabout best practice, but in short you should try <strong>and</strong> use more than one managed diskcontroller if possible.8.6 Configuring an <strong>XIV</strong> for attachment to SVCFirst we must configure the <strong>XIV</strong>.8.6.1 <strong>XIV</strong> setup stepsThe <strong>XIV</strong> GUI is remarkably easy to use, so we do not reproduce a series of <strong>XIV</strong> GUI images.This section provides the setup steps using the <strong>XIV</strong> XCLI. They are reproduced mainly toshow the flow of comm<strong>and</strong>s rather than to indicate a preference for XCLI over the <strong>XIV</strong> GUI.1. Define the SVC cluster to the <strong>XIV</strong> as in Example 8-13. An SVC cluster consists of severalnodes, with each SVC node being defined as a separate host.Example 8-13 Define the SVC Cluster to the <strong>XIV</strong>cluster_create cluster="SVC_Cluster1"Chapter 8. SVC migration with <strong>XIV</strong> 255
