A given storage unit can be configured to support multiple operating systems.
Your storage unit is manufactured with a standard physical configuration that meets most performance requirements. You, with guidance from your IBM® service support representative (SSR), determine the logical configuration to meet your specific needs. Many users configure the storage unit to support a single environment, such as a multiplatform UNIX® storage server or an S/390® storage server.
The storage unit provides a set of standard logical configurations that are built-in for many applications. In some cases, if the standard configurations do not satisfy your specific needs, the real-time configuration function can provide a specific product configuration.
