RA4000 Array
The RA4000 Array is one shared storage solution for the PDC/O1000. Each
non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric or non-redundant Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) can contain one or more RA4000 Arrays. Each
RA4000 Array contains one single-port RA4000 Array Controller. The array
controller connects the RA4000 Array to one Storage Hub, FC-AL Switch, or
Fibre Channel SAN Switch, which in turn is connected to one Fibre Host
Adapter in each cluster node.
The RA4000 Array can hold up to twelve 1-inch or eight 1.6-inch Wide-Ultra
SCSI drives. The drives must be mounted on Compaq hot-pluggable drive
trays. SCSI IDs are assigned automatically according to their drive location,
allowing 1-inch and 1.6-inch drives to be intermixed within the same RA4000
Array.
The RA4000 Array comes in either a rack-mountable or a tower model.
For more information about the RA4000 Array, refer to the
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide.
RA4100 Array
The RA4100 Array is another shared storage solution for the PDC/O1000.
Each non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric or non-redundant Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) can contain one or more RA4100 Arrays. Each
RA4100 Array contains one single-port RA4000 Array Controller. The array
controller connects the RA4100 Array to one Storage Hub, FC-AL Switch, or
Fibre Channel SAN Switch, which in turn is connected to one Fibre Host
Adapter in each cluster node.
The RA4100 Array can hold up to twelve 1-inch Compaq Hot Plug Ultra2
Disk Drives. The drives must be mounted on Compaq hot-pluggable drive
trays. SCSI IDs are assigned automatically according to their drive location.
The RA4100 Array comes in a rack-mountable model.
