RAID

• Multiple arrays configurable with dedicated or global hot spares
• RAID levels supported: RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 10, 30, 50, NRAID and JBOD
• Online expansion by:
  • Adding new drives
  • Copying and replacing drives with drives of larger capacity
• Automatic background rebuilds
• Configurable stripe size and write policy per array
• Intelligent drive handling:
  • In degraded mode: skips irreparable blocks to continue rebuild
  • In normal operation: data-block verification and repair

System Components

• One (1) XDAS enhanced 4U enclosure
• Two (2) RAID controller modules
• Two (2) 512MB DDR RAM DIMM modules (pre-installed on the controller modules)
• Three (3) hot-swappable, redundant, 405W power supply units
• Two (2) hot-swappable, redundant, dual-fan cooling modules running in high/low speeds
• Twenty-four (24) hot-swappable drive trays
• Two (2) front handles
• Two (2) independent battery backup units (BBUs)
• One (1) enclosure configuration card
• Two (2) host connection modules

Host Interface

• Four (4) FC-2G host channels with embedded bypass circuit to eight (8) Fibre ports on two (2) hot-swappable, independent host connection modules
• DIP switch settings to change host port attributes
• Auto-negotiate FC-AL, point-to-point, or switched fabric
• Tagged command queuing up to 256
• Variable stripe size per logical drive
• Optimization setting for random or sequential I/Os

Drive Interface

• Twenty-four (24) hot-swappable 3Gbps SATA-II drive trays that accommodate 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch SATA-II or SATA-I disk drives
• Automatic bad-sector reassignment
• Dedicated bandwidth to each connected drive

Management

• Firmware-embedded utility via LCD keypad or RS-232C port
• Host-side SES emulation with pass-through to back-end SES emulation
• VT-100 terminal emulation via RS-232C
• Telnet access via onboard Ethernet port
• 10/100 BaseT Ethernet for out-of-band management
• Two (2) COM ports for local access to firmware-embedded utility and UPS connectivity
• Firmware-embedded Java-based RAIDWatch® manager:
  • Graphical user interface
  • Local/remote management; in-band or out-of-band via TCP/IP
  • Centralized management to monitor and administer multiple RAID units on one screen
  • Secure link over SSL
• Configuration Client for easy access to the configuration utility screen
• SNMP 2.0 MIBs with get and set commands
