Virtual Disk Configuration

A virtual disk is a logical structure on a
storage array for data storage. A virtual
disk is created by slicing a disk group into
a stripe set with a defined capacity. Each
disk group supports up to one or more
virtual disks and a
maximum of 256 virtual
disks
per MD3200i series of storage
system. During the virtual disk creation
process, the user specifies the capacity of
the virtual disk and the virtual disk name.
Additional settings include preferred
controller ownership and a virtual disk-to-LUN mapping parameter (See Storage Partitioning section).

Configuration Metadata

MD3200i series of controllers store configuration metadata in a private 512 MB region on every
configured physical disk. This metadata area contains physical disk state and status information,
virtual disk state and status information and controller and subsystem information. The metadata on
