• External disk storage
You can purchase the following hardware for external disk storage. Both models provide
14 hard disk bays, and each hard disk provides 146GB of storage.
• VT5905, which is built on the StorageWorks Modular SAN Array (MSA) 1000 and
provides a 2TB storage array.
• VT5905-B, which is also built on the MSA 1000 and provides a 4TB storage array.
• VT5906, which is an MSA 1000 add-on enclosure and is available if you need
additional storage after purchasing and installing the VT5905. You can install up to
two of these storage arrays per VT5905. The VT5906 provides a 2TB storage array:
• VT5906-B, which is also an MSA 1000 add-on enclosure and provides a 4TB storage
array.
• VT5915, which is an MSA 60 disk array that provides 9TB of storage. The MSA 60
requires an HP StorageWorks P800 controller card. This model cannot be used in a
GFS-clustered environment (it cannot be shared).
• VT5916, which is an MSA 60 add-on enclosure providing 9TB of storage. Up to three
VT5916s can be added to a VT5915 for a maximum capacity of up to 36TB. It is also
not usable in a GFS-clustered environment.
