Chapter 1 Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 features, and specifications.

1.1 System Features

Special features of the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 are shown below:

■ Space and Energy Savings

• Compact design makes effective use of rack space

- Three models are available; ETERNUS DX60, ETERNUS DX80, and ETERNUS DX90. All

models are compactly-designed to use rack space efficiently, coming in 2U size (*1) enclosures.

*1: 2U = Two 19-inch rack units = 88mm device height

- Two types of controller enclosure and drive enclosures (optional) are available; those for

3.5" disks and those for 2.5" disks. Up to twelve 3.5" disks can be installed in the 3.5" type enclosures, and up to twenty-four

2.5" disks can be installed in the 2.5" type enclosures. The appropriate drive configuration should be decided based on the purpose, applications and onsite installation space available for the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90.

- Up to 24 disks can be installed in the ETERNUS DX60 and up to 120 disks in the ETER-

NUS DX80/DX90.

• Energy savings by the latest technology

Power efficiency and energy savings are achieved with advanced technology.

• Eco-mode to reduce environmental load

Using the Eco-mode function to start and stop the spindle rotation in the disk for each RAID group during the specified hour. Stop the spindle rotation when there is no access to the disk to reduce power consumption and decrease environmental load.

• Visualization of power consumption and ambient temperature

Power consumption and ambient temperature for the entire ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 can be checked using the (optional) "ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser" integrated management software's Graphical User Interface (GUI). Both current status and historical records (for a day, a week, or an year) can be displayed.

(*1)

(300GB/450GB/600GB; 15,000rpm), and 2.5" SAS disks

(*1)

(146GB/ 300GB/450GB/600GB; 10,000rpm) are available. For data backup and archival purposes the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 is able to use large

capacity, highly cost effective 3.5" Nearline SAS disks

(*1)

(750GB/1TB/2TB; 7,200rpm).

Flash memory based 3.5" SSDs

(*2)

(100GB/200GB) and 2.5" SSDs

(*2)

(100GB/200GB) are

also available (except for the ETERNUS DX60, which does not support SSDs).

*1: SAS: Serial Attached SCSI *2: SSD: Solid State Drive

• Supports capacity expansion during system operation

- Disks and drive enclosures can be added during the system operation.

- RAID group capacity can be expanded by adding disk from the unit of one.

- Volume can be expanded during the system operation. Even when the work load

increased rapidly, the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 flexibly expand the volume capacity with no interruption of the operation.

• High connectivity supports the multi-platform environment

- FC-SAN, IP-SAN, and DAS environments are supported, with Fibre Channel (maximum

transfer speed: 8Gbit/s), iSCSI (maximum transfer speed: 1Gbit/s), and SAS (maximum transfer speed: 3Gbit/s) host interfaces being used, respectively.

Page 24

Chapter 1 Overview > 1.1 System Features

ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 Disk storage system User Guide

P3AM-3042-07ENZ0

- The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 supports multiple Operating Systems such as UNIX,

Linux, Windows®, and VMware®, and can be connected as a storage system for PRIMEQUEST, SPARC Enterprise, PRIMERGY servers as well as for UNIX/IA servers of other companies. Also the RAID aggregation using SAN (Storage Area Network) is available.

■ Data integrity with high-speed backup

• Nearline SAS disks for data backup and archiving

- Using large capacity / cost effective Nearline SAS disks allows low cost D2D (Disk to Disk)

backup and high-speed recovery in the case of unexpected failure.

- Storing the less frequently accessed data such as archive data in the Nearline SAS disks

allows easy reading. Nearline SAS disks and SAS disks can be installed in the same drive enclosure.

• Backup function

Using the Advanced Copy function allows the high-speed copying of disk volumes at any given time.

• Data integrity against disasters

Using the Remote Advanced Copy functions (enhanced Advanced Copy functions), data can be copied between multiple ETERNUS DX90s without burdening the server. In addition, using the Extended Remote Advanced Copy functions, data can be copied between ETERNUS DX90s in the remote place that are connected with SAN-WAN-SAN topology, which enables duplication of database and backup to a remote place in the case of disaster.

■ High reliability supports 24/7/365 operation

• Duplication of important components

Important components such as controllers (for dual-controller model), power supply units, and fans are duplicated to continue the operation in the case of unexpected failure. Also this allows the hot swapping of failed components with the device power on. In addition, the latest firmware can be applied during system operation.

• Various supported RAID levels

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 supports RAID5+0 that is superior to RAID5 in reliability and performance, and RAID6 that responds to the double failure of disks, as well as RAID1, RAID1+0, and RAID5. A flexible RAID configuration can be selected.

• Redundant copy ensures disk redundancy

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 diagnostic routines test the disks in order to predict failures before they happen. When a disk requires preventive maintenance, a hot spare is automatically switched in to replace it, providing continued data redundancy and stable operation.

• Block Guard ensures data integrity

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 adds check codes and check them at multiple checkpoints on data transfer path to ensure the data integrity.

Page 25

Chapter 1 Overview > 1.1 System Features

ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 Disk storage system User Guide

P3AM-3042-07ENZ0

• System Capacitor Unit (SCU)

A SCU that does not need to be regularly replaced is installed as a backup power source in case of a power failure. If the power fails, the SCU enables the cache memory data to be saved to flash memory. Therefore, unlike a battery, the SCU does not have a time limit to save data. The SCU is charged so quickly that write performance is recovered right after power recovery.

■ E-mail notification

If an error occurs in the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90, the details can be sent to a specified email address.

■ Strengthening security against information leaks

• Data encryption to prevent information leaks

Data can be encrypted and written. Data encryption can prevent information leaks caused by fraudulent decoding even if the disk is stolen.

• Protection against fraudulent access

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 supports SSL/SSH that encrypts and communicates information on the network. This protects against malicious use of data and fraudulent access to devices via a Web browser (GUI) or CLI.

■ RoHS compliance

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 complies with RoHS, as mandated by the Council of Europe and our board of directors. RoHS limits the use in electric and electronic equipment of six specific chemicals: lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, cadmium, PBB (polybrominated biphenyl), and PBDE (polybrominated diphenyl ether). In addition, lead-free soldering is used for all printed-wiring boards.

Data encryption may not be possible for some configurations.

1.2 Configuration

This chapter describes items to be noted before configuring the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 systems.

1.2.1 RAID Level

This section describes the supported RAID level and usage (RAID level selection criteria), and RAID group configuration.

■ Supported RAID levels and mechanism

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 supports the following RAID levels.

• RAID0 (striping)

• RAID1 (mirroring)

• RAID1+0 (striping of pairs of disks for mirroring)

• RAID5 (striping with distributed parity blocks)

• RAID5+0 (double striping with distributed parity blocks) (*1)

• RAID6 (striping with distributed double parity blocks) (*2)

*1: RAID5+0 is a RAID system in which the data on RAID5 volumes is then RAID0 striped.

*2: RAID6 ensures data safety and continues system operation in the case of a second

malfunction within a single RAID group.

CAUTION

• Remember that a RAID0 configuration is not redundant. This means

that if a RAID0 disk fails, the data will not be recoverable. Therefore, using RAID1, RAID1+0, RAID5, RAID5+0, or RAID6 configuration is recommended.

• RAID1+0 (striping of pairs of disks for mirroring)

RAID1+0 combines the performance of RAID0 (striping) with the reliability of RAID1 (mirroring).

Figure 1.3 RAID1+0 concept

• RAID5 (striping with distributed parity)

Data divided into units of blocks and allocated across multiple disks together with parity information created from the data. If one disk fails, the remaining data and parity blocks are sufficient to allow the recovery of the lost data.

■ Reliability, performance, capacity for each RAID level

Table 1.3 shows the comparison result of reliability, performance, capacity for each RAID level.

Table 1.3 User capacity for each RAID level

*1: Performance may differ according to the number of disks and the processing method from the host.

■ Recommended RAID level

Select the appropriate RAID level according to the usage.

• Recommended RAID level is RAID1, RAID1+0, RAID5, RAID5+0 and RAID6.

• For read and write performance, RAID1+0 configuration is recommended.

• For read only file servers and backup servers, RAID5, RAID5+0, or RAID6 can also be used.

However, if the disk fails, note that data restoration from parities and rebuilding process may result in a loss in performance.

1.2.2 RAID Groups and Volumes

■ RAID group

In an ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 Disk storage system, you can set up the RAID groups to all use the same RAID level or a mixture of different RAID levels.

Figure 1.7 Example of a RAID group

Table 1.4

show the recommended number of disks that configures a RAID group.

Table 1.4 Recommended number of disks per RAID group

■ Volume

Logical disk areas in RAID groups are called volumes. A volume is the basic RAID unit, that can be recognized by the server.

RAID1+0 4, 6, 8, 10

RAID5 3, 4, 5, 6

RAID5+0 6, 8, 10, 12

RAID6 5, 6, 7

• Adding more disks to a RAID group improves performance.

• Use of higher capacity disks in a RAID group will increase the time

required for the disk rebuild process to complete.

• The more disks per RAID5, RAID5+0, or RAID6 group, the longer the

period of time for data restoration from parities and rebuilding process.

1.2.4 Hot Spare

Hot spares are used as spare disks for when disks in a RAID group fail, or are in error status. The following two types of hot spare are available:

• Global Hot spare

This is available for any RAID group.

• Dedicated Hot spare

This is only available to one specified RAID group.

For details about Global Hot spare and Dedicated Hot spare, refer to the "ETERNUS DX60/ DX80/DX90 Web GUI User Guide".

Make sure to register sufficient hot spares. If a free hot spare is available, when one of the RAID group disks has a problem, data from this disk is automatically replicated into the hot spare.

Figure 1.9 Hot Spares

Assign "Dedicated Hot spares" to RAID groups that contain important data, in order to preferentially improve their access to hot spares.

Refer

"ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 Web GUI User Guide"

CAUTION

• If a disk configured in a RAID1, RAID1+0, RAID5, RAID5+0, or

RAID6 group fails, contact your maintenance engineer immediately as the failed disk should be replaced at once. If another disk fails before the first disk that failed is replaced, the data of the second disk may be lost.

1.2.5 Disks

Three kinds of drives can be installed in the device: SAS disks, Nearline SAS disks, and SSDs. Each is suitable for the following usage cases:

• SAS Disk

SAS disks are highly-performance/high-reliability disks for enterprise use. SAS disks support 24/7/365 operations and are used to store high performance databases and other frequently accessed data.

2.5" SAS disks take less space, consume less electrical power, and are lighter than 3.5" SAS disks.

• Nearline SAS Disk

Nearline SAS disks are high capacity / cost effective disks for data backup and archive use. Nearline SAS disks can store information that requires a lower access rate at a still reasonable speed more cost effectively than the SAS disks.

• SSD (Solid-State Drive)

SSDs are highly-performance/high-reliability drives for enterprise use. SSDs support 24/7/ 365 operations and are used to store high performance databases and other frequently accessed data. SSDs use flash memory as their storage media and provide better random access performance than SAS and Nearline SAS hard disks. Containing no motors or other moving parts, SSDs are highly resistant to impact and have low power consumption requirements.

2.5" SSDs take less space and are lighter than 3.5" SSDs.

1.2.6 Host Interface

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80 supports three types of host interfaces: the Fibre Channel interface, the iSCSI interface, and the SAS interface. The ETERNUS DX90 supports the Fibre Channel interface.

• Fibre Channel interface

Fibre Channel supports two connection topologies, Arbitrated Loop and Fabric. Maximum transfer speed is 4Gbit/s for the ETERNUS DX60, 8Gbit/s or 4Gbit/s for the ETERNUS DX80, and 8Gbit/s for the ETERNUS DX90. Fibre Channel is commonly used for database servers. A fabric connection via an FC switch will allow a large number of high-performance hosts to connect to a single port if required.

• iSCSI interface

iSCSI is a communication protocol which transfers SCSI commands within IP packets over Ethernet, and has a maximum transfer speed of 1Gbit/s. Since iSCSI can be installed at lower cost than Fibre Channel, it is commonly used by divisions of large companies and by small-and-medium-sized companies. In order to secure iSCSI performance, it is recommended that the iSCSI network be physically separated from other typical purpose networks such as those used for Internet access and file transfer.

• SAS interface

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a serial transfer host interface that is as reliable as the normal (parallel) SCSI interface, but has a higher maximum transfer speed of 3Gbit/s. SAS is used to connect servers and DAS (Direct Attached Storage) devices and, while providing less expandability than a SAN connection, is still suitable for small-sized systems.

• QuickOPC

QuickOPC copies all data as initial copy as OPC. After the initial copy has completed, only updated data (differential data) need to be copied hereafter. QuickOPC is suitable for the following usages.

- Making backup for less updated data

- Making system test data replication

- Restoration from the backup

• SnapOPC+

As updates occur in the source data, SnapOPC+ saves the pre-change for each affected generation level. Registering standby storage areas in the SDP allows SnapOPC+ copy sessions to continue even when the amount of update data exceeds the copy destination capacity. SnapOPC+ is suitable for the following usages.

- Making temporary backup for tape backup

- Backup for less updated data (generation management is available)

• EC (Equivalent Copy)

EC makes a mirror copy of the copy source to the copy destination beforehand, then suspends the copy and treats all data as independent data. When copying is Resumed, only updated data in the copy source is copied to the copy destination. If the copy destination data has been changed, copy the copy source data again. EC is suitable for the following usages.

- Making backup

- Making system test data replication

• REC (Remote Equivalent Copy)

REC is used to copy data among multiple devices using the EC copy method. REC is suitable for the following usages.

- Replicating system test datasets

- Duplicating databases on multiple devices

- Backing up data to remote devices

1.3.4 RAID Migration

RAID migration is a function that transfers a volume to a different RAID group with the data integrity being guaranteed. By using RAID migration, RAID levels and volumes can be hot switched. This allows easy redistribution of volumes among RAID groups in response to customer needs. RAID migration can be carried out while the system is running, and may also be used to switch data to a different RAID level changing from RAID5 to RAID1+0, for example.

The example of RAID migration is as follows:

• Example when transferring volumes from a RAID5(3+1) 300GB disk configuration to a

RAID5(3+1) 450GB disk configuration:

1.3.5 Logical Device Expansion

Logical Device Expansion (RAID Group Expansion) allows the capacity of an existing RAID group to be dynamically extended by the addition of extra disks. By using Logical Device Expansion to extend the capacity of existing RAID group in this way, new volume can be added without having to add new RAID groups, as used to be the case.

The following shows the example when RAID5(3+1) 300GB configuration converted to a RAID5(4+1) configuration by the addition of an extra disk.

1.3.7 Security Functions

The ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 possesses functions that allow numbers of volumes, that can be recognized by a server, to be expanded or restricted by adjusting how the logical units (LUN) seen by the host correspond to the volumes within the storage system. "LUN mapping function" and "Host Affinity function" are available as security functions.

• LUN Mapping function

LUN mapping is used to set the relationship between the logical units (LUN) of the host and the volumes of the device, on a per device port basis.

Figure 1.17 LUN Mapping function

By specifying different LUN mapping per port, it is possible to set the volumes that can be accessed for each server.

• Host Affinity function

The Host Affinity function sets the "Affinity Group" to be applied for each server. "Affinity Group" defines the relationship between the host logical units (LUN) and the device logical volumes. Multiple settings are available. The Host Affinity function uses the server's World Wide Name (WWN), iSCSI name, or SAS address to distinguish it from other servers.

Chapter 3 Standard Operations

This chapter explains the procedures for turning the device on and off, attaching and removing the front or flange cover, turning on the AUTO POWER switch, and wearing a wrist strap.

3.1 Power ON Control

This section explains how to turn the power on.

MPORTAN

• After turning the power on, it takes about 3 minutes for the device to

become READY (i.e. the READY LED turns on). If an error is detected during the initial power-on diagnostic phase, a longer time (up to ten minutes) may be required before the READY LED turns on.

• Before turning the server on, check that the device, Fibre Channel

switch, and Fibre Channel hub are all READY. If the server is turned on while any of these devices are not READY, the server may not be able to recognize the device.

• When the AUTO POWER switch of the controller enclosure is turned to

"ON", supplying power to the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 will cause the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 to turn on automatically in cases such as when the power cord is connected or the power is recovered after power failure.

• When turning on the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 for the first time,

volume formatting operation, which is set as factory default, may be performed. However, the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 setting operation can be continued. When canceling a volume format, delete the volume. For details on how to delete volume, refer to "ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 Web GUI User Guide".

3.2 Power OFF Control

This section explains how to turn the power off.

Procedure

1 Press and hold the console panel's power switch ( ) for 4 seconds or longer.

The READY LED should turn off.

2 The device power is turned off.

When the power is turned off, the POWER LED will go out.

End of procedure

MPORTAN

• When turning off the device, the power shuts off only after the data in the

cache memory has been written to the hard disk. Therefore, it can take one minute (maximum six minutes) for the power supply to be completely turned off.

• Do not turn off the power of the device or network devices that connect

the ETERNUS DX60/DX80/DX90 and server while the server is operating. Turning the power off may result in the loss of data or prevent data from being saved.

MPORTAN

Press the power switch only once. If the power switch is pressed again between the time of the READY LED turning off and the POWER LED turning off, the device power may turn on.

When drive enclosures are installed, the power turns off automatically.
