HP StoreVirtual 4630 Storage Maintenance Guide (AX696-96343, December 2013)

1 Overview
The HP StoreVirtual 4630 Storage (HP 4630 system) base configuration is a single-node SAN
consisting of one storage blade and one D2700 disk enclosure (the enclosure contains 25 drives).
Each storage blade, installed in the blade enclosure, runs the LeftHand OS software and is connected
to a D2700 disk enclosure through a SAS switch. Up to seven storage blades can be added, for
a total of eight storage blades, in one blade enclosure connected to eight D2700 disk enclosures.
Multiple HP 4630 systems can be combined into clusters or management groups as part of the
same SAN.
NOTE: In this solution, storage system corresponds to a storage blade. There are up to eight
storage systems in one HP 4630 system. A maximum of 32 storage systems can be connected
together.
Hardware components
A fully-installed HP 4630 system comprises the following components:
• HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure (1)
NOTE: The HP 4630 system only supports the latest c7000 enclosure. You can verify the
version using Onboard Administrator. Log in and select the Information panel in Enclosure
Information. The Model field should display BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure G2 and
the Version field should list firmware version 3.60 or later. If the information in these fields
does not match what is listed here, you are using an older c7000 enclosure and it must be
replaced.
