Storage - Internal SCSI Disks

• Internal SCSI disks are used in the Mt Xia AIX environment for storage of the AIX operating system.

• One or more internal SCSI disks may exist in an enclosure

• In systems where more than one internal SCSI disk exists, software mirroring is used to replicate the AIX operating system.

• In standalone database systems not connected to the SAN, striping may be used for enhanced performance

• Quorum requirements is generally not a consideration due to the Mt Xia environment strategy

• Current architectural direction is to utilize external disk technology for both Application and Operating System volumes.

For assistance with designing, implementing, and supporting your storage systems in a business continuity design structure, please contact Mt Xia.
