3. Default IP address assigned by a DHCP server By default each chassis has an IP address assigned to it if your network uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP server to automatically allocate IP addresses to attached devices You can then access that IP address through the Sun StorEdge CLI Sun StorEdge Configuration Service or the firmware application If you do not use a DHCP server and therefore have no IP address you can set an IP address through serial connection to the firmware Logical Drive Capacity The firmware allows up to 64 TB per logical drive configuration with sequential optimization and up to 16 TB per logical drive configuration with random optimization These limits are further modified by available drive sizes and the maximum number of drives allowed per product Number of Logical Drives You can configure up to 32 logical drives per configuration with a maximum of 32 partitions per logical drive Configurable Parameters per Logical Drive You can configure stripe size and write cache policy individually for each logical drive with a maximum limit of 1024 LUNs Optimization Mode and Stripe Size This optimization mode applies to cache optimization rather than stripe size You can fine tune performance by setting the most desirable stripe size for each logical drive to best match the application of that logical drive For more information see Optimization Mode and Stripe Size Feature
