Configuration Rules

Following are the rules for connecting SAS interfaces across RAID and JBOD

enclosures:



Fault-tolerant links in a dual-controller combinations: Corresponding to SAS

drives’

dual-ported

interface, two physical links are available from each disk

drive, routed across the backplane board, each through a SAS expander,

and then interfaced through a 4x wide external SAS port.



With data paths through separate SAS domains, access to disk drives can

be continued in the event of a cable link or SAS JBOD controller failure.

RAID controller A

Dual-ported SAS drives

RAID controller B

Expander

JBOD controller A

JBOD controller B



Fault-tolerant Links to SAS disk Drives



SAS expansion cables will be available with the JBODs. Note that if many

JBODs are connected, a longer SAS external cable (e.g., a 120cm cable)

may be necessary for connecting a JBOD from the opposite direction
