IBM TotalStorage DS4300 Turbo, Инструкция по установке и эксплуатации

Страница: 35 / 164

The DS4300 Turbo option enables you to intermix EXP700 and EXP710 enclosures
in the same redundant drive loop.
For information on the cabling requirements and best practices for intermixing
EXP100s, EXP710s and EXP700s in the same DS4000 Storage Server
configuration, see the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 Fibre Channel and Serial ATA
Intermix Premium Feature Installation Overview that ships with the FC/SATA
Enclosure Intermix premium feature.

General
v
Modular components:
– High-capacity Fibre Channel disk
drives
– RAID controllers
– Power supplies
– Cooling fans
v Technology:
– Support for disk arrays
– Support for clustering
– Fibre-channel host interface
– Redundant data storage, cooling
system, power system, and RAID
controllers (Model 60U/60X only)
– Hot-swap technology for power
supplies and RAID controllers (Model
60U/60X only)
– Hot-swap technology for
fibre-channel hard drives and fans
(all models).
Attention: You will lose data if you
attempt to hot swap the controller and
power supply components in a DS4300
single-controller storage server (Model
6LU/6LX).
v User interface:
– Built-in power, activity, and fault light
emitting diodes (LEDs)
– Identification labeling on customer
replaceable units (CRUs), rear LEDs,
switches, and connectors
– Easy-to-replace drives, power
supplies, RAID controllers, and fans
Disk drive storage
2-Gbps Fibre Channel enclosure
Maximum drives per storage server: 14
Attached storage expansion enclosures
For Model 60U/60X, attachment of
DS4000 EXP700 storage expansion
enclosures requires one or more
EXP700 Attachment option (or feature)
upgrades for the DS4300
2-Gbps connection only
RAID controllers
v
Technology and interfaces:
– Fibre Channel: 40-pin fibre-channel
disk drives
– Fibre Channel interface:
- For Model 60U/60X, six small
form-factor pluggable (SFP)
modules for incoming and
outgoing fibre-channel cables
(three SFPs on each RAID
controller).
- For Model 6LU/6LX, four SFP
modules for incoming
fibre-channel cables (two SFPs on
each RAID controller).
– Two 2-Gbps fibre-channel host-side
connections per controller
Clustering support
Clustering is a means of sharing array groups among controllers to provide
redundancy of controllers and servers. This redundancy is important if a hardware
component fails. If a hardware component failure occurs in a cluster, another server
takes ownership of the array group.
Clustering requires software specific to your operating system. For more information
