This chapter describes the hardware components used in HP StoreAll Storage systems, and provides
cabling diagrams and networking information.

Understanding platform configurations

HP StoreAll 8200 Gateway Storage system configurations

The HP StoreAll 8200 supports the following configurations:

•

1 GbE network storage gateway

•

10 GbE network storage gateway

The system is comprised of HP StoreAll nodes, which are based on the ProLiant DL380p Gen8
server, and can be connected to select HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000- or 10000-series FC storage
systems.

NOTE:

For specific hardware details for each configuration, see the HP StoreAll 8000 Storage

QuickSpecs, available at:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14792_na/
