Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories Subchapter 4.7—Disk Arrays 4.7.1—HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7000 Family: VA7100, VA7110 and VA7410 Introduction The HP StorageWorks VA7000 Family arrays that support MPE/iX include the VA7100, VA7110 , and VA7410 arrays. Where sections are specific to a particular array, they are called out. If a section is not specifically called out, it is common to all.
Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories RAID 5DP provides superior data redundancy by protecting against the simultaneous failure of two member disks by using independent error correction schemes. The VA7100 is designed to communicate with multiple hosts and multiple systems, otherwise known as heterogeneous support. Any combination of the supported operating systems: HP-UX, MPE/iX, Windows NT, Solaris, AiX, NetWare, Windows 2000, and Linux can be used.
Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories The VA7110 is designed to communicate with multiple hosts and multiple systems, otherwise known as heterogeneous support. Any combination of the supported operating systems—HP-UX, Windows NT, Solaris, AiX, NetWare, Windows 2000, MPE/iX, and Linux can be used. Two different protocols, or host port behaviors, are used by the array to communicate with the operating systems: one protocol for Windows/Linux/other and another for HP-UX.
Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories Both enclosures include dual power supplies with built-in dual blowers, and accommodate up to 15 low-profile 3.5-inch native fibre channel (FC) disk drives in the front. The controller enclosure also includes dual redundant 1 or 2-Gbps FC capable array controller cards and the disk enclosure also includes dual redundant 1- or 2-Gbps link controller cards for back-end connections to the controllers. All field replaceable units are hot swappable.
Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories New Firmware Revision Code Designation for VA7410 Note: The release firmware for the VA7410 is “A100”. The revision numbering for firmware for the VA7410 has changed. The revision numbering now consists of a string of 4 ASCII characters (the HP designation has gone away).

Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories In a dual controller configuration, both controllers must have the same amount of cache memory as the contents of NVRAM are mirrored between the two controllers. This mirroring process insures that both controllers have exactly the same information in the event of a failure. The controller battery maintains NVRAM contents when normal power is not present. If the battery fails or loses its charge while power is off, the NVRAM contents are lost on that controller.
Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories The disk drives provide the storage medium for the disk array. A minimum of four disk modules is required to operate the disk array. Different capacity disk modules can be installed in the same array. A new disk can be added at any time, even while the disk array is operating. The array controller will recognize that a new disk has been added and will include the disk in the array configuration automatically if the Auto Include feature is enabled.

Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories GBIC (VA7100 only) A Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is connected to each array controller as a transceiver for data and to convert the data from an optical signal to an electrical signal and vice versa. Each VAP includes a single GBIC. Based on user configurations, additional GBICs may be required. Only the GBICs A6203A (Enterprise) and A6241A (Commercial) are supported with the VA7100. These are Finisar GBICs, which provide readable serial number functionality.
Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories Array Logs The array logs consist of the following controller logs: • Events − Errors − Unexpected conditions − Configuration changes − Environmental changes • Fibre Channel Port Statistics − Historical Fibre Channel port information • Performance − Input/Output per second • Flash − Event log stored in flash memory in the event of a loss of battery power The array logs are stored in two (2) locations: The Controller(s).
