Introduction

This Best Practices Manual describes the use of Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and 
Sun StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays, as well as the use of their corresponding expansion 
units. It complements the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and 
Service Manual for these products. 

This manual gives a high level overview of Sun StorEdge 3510 FC arrays and Sun 
StorEdge 3511 SATA arrays, and presents several sample storage solutions for entry-
level, mid-range, and enterprise servers. Use these solutions as-is or tailor them to fit 
your exact needs. Examples of customization opportunities include adding disks, 
enclosures and software, or even combining configurations. Choosing the solution 
that best matches your particular environment will provide the best results.

Executive Summary

Before reading the detailed information in this document, review this high-level 
overview of factors that affect the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of 
not only your storage arrays but your system as a whole.

RAS Features of Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Arrays

The following subjects are described in more detail in this document:

■

Dual-controller configurations

Use dual-controller arrays to avoid a single point of failure. A dual-controller FC 
array features a default active-to-active controller configuration. This 
configuration improved application availability because, in the unlikely event of a 
controller failure, the array automatically fails over to a second controller, 
resulting in no interruption of data flow.
