■
Capacity – The Sun StorEdge 6320 system supports 36 Gbyte, 73 Gbyte, and 146
Gbyte disk drives in the Sun StorEdge 6020 arrays. The supported capacity for the
Sun StorEdge 6320 system is a minimum of 504 Gbytes and a maximum of 45
Tbytes. Mixed drive sizes are supported.
Note – If mixed drive sizes are used within a storage pool, the lowest drive size
dictates the usable storage of each drive within that volume. For instance, if a
volume of seven disks has six 146 Gbyte disks and one 36 Gbyte disk, all disks will
be viewed as 36 Gbyte disks.
■
System Redundancy – The systems provide full data path redundancy with no
data path component as a single point of failure, offering 24x7 data availability.
Redundant components include the Fibre Channel switches (if used), Sun
StorEdge 6020 array, and dual power sequencers.
■
Host Managed Multipathing – The system provides at least two full speed
physical I/O paths to each host. The Sun StorEdge 6020 arrays provide two 2 Gbit
physical I/O paths. Host software is required to manage the I/O multipathing
and load balancing across these I/O paths. Such software includes, but is not
limited to, either Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software or VERITAS Dynamic
Multi-Pathing (DMP).
■
Host Support – The Sun StorEdge 6320 system supports the following minimal
level operating systems. Refer to the latest version of the Sun StorEdge 6320 System

Multiple Host Support – Each Sun StorEdge 6020 array partner group supports
up to 16 hosts. This enables the Sun StorEdge 6320 system to allow up to 176
hosts with Fibre Channel SAN zoning (this assumes the 2x2 configurations are
used within the system). With integrated Fibre Channel switches, the Sun
