Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Configuration Guide • August 2001

Creating Partner Groups

Partner groups can be created in two ways:

From new units

From existing standalone units

Instructions for installing new array units and connecting them to create partner
groups can be found in the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Installation, Operation, and
Service Manual
.

To configure existing standalone arrays with data into a partner group, you must go
through a qualified service provider. Contact your SunService representative for
more information.

Caution –

The procedure to reconfigure the arrays into a partner group involves

deleting all data from array disks and restoring the data after the completing the
reconfiguration. There is the potential risk of data loss or data corruption if the
procedure is not performed properly.
