Modular Array Solutions

Release Notes – HSG80 Enterprise/Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel Solution

Software Version 8.7A for Novell NetWare

Modular Array Solutions

The modular solution consists of the array controller (single or dual configurations)

installed in a Model 2200 Ultra SCSI controller enclosure, and the drives installed in

either a Model 4314 disk enclosure or a Model 4354 disk enclosure. The modular

solutions must be mounted in RETMA cabinets. The StorageWorks RETMA cabinets

are available in heights of 42U, 41U, 36U, and 22U. The Model 2200 Ultra SCSI

controller enclosure is 4U. The Model 4314 disk enclosure and the Model 4354 disk

enclosure are both 3U. This combination allows for several cabinet configurations.

NOTE: If you wish to use a controller from an existing RA8000 or ESA12000 storage system,

the Cache Bulkhead upgrade for installation of the controller in the Model 2200 is required.

• For information about how to install the array controller in a Model 2200 Ultra

SCSI controller enclosure, see the Model 2100 and 2200 Ultra SCSI Controller

Enclosures User Guide.

• For information about how to install drives in either a Model 4314 disk enclosure

or a Model 4354 disk enclosure, see the Model 4300 Family Ultra3 LVD Disk

Enclosures User Guide.

• For information about modular solution configurations and restrictions, see the

Modular Array Cabinet Restrictions user document.

Disk Enclosures

The array controller firmware addresses up to 14 disks per SCSI bus. The maximum

number of disks supported by an array controller (single or cooperating pair) is 84.

The disk enclosures can be configured for single bus or for dual bus operation.

NOTE: The 43xx disk enclosures do not allow daisy chaining between shelves.
