(10,000rpm)).

Also, ETERNUS2000 supports large capacity / cost effective Nearline SAS disk drives

(*1)

(1TB/

750GB/500GB (7,200rpm)) for data backup and archiving.

*1: SAS: Serial Attached SCSI

• Supports capacity expansion during system operation

• Disk drives and drive enclosures can be added during the system operation.

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

• Volume can be expanded during the system operation. Even when the work load increased rapidly, ETERNUS2000 flexibly expand the volume capacity with no interruption of the operation.

• High connectivity supports the multi-platform environment

• ETERNUS2000 supports FC-SAN, IP-SAN, or DAS environment by utilizing the Fibre Channel interface (maximum transfer speed: 4Gbps), iSCSI interface (maximum transfer speed: 1Gbps), or SAS interface (maximum transfer speed: 3Gbps) as the host interface.

• ETERNUS2000 supports multiple Operating Systems such as UNIX, Linux, and Windows®, and can be connected as a storage system for PRIMEQUEST, SPARC Enterprise, and 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 disk drives for data backup and archiving

• Using large capacity / cost effective Nearline SAS disk drives 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 disk drives allows easy reading. Nearline SAS disk drives and SAS disk drives can be installed in the same drive enclosure.

• Various backup function

Cooperation between the Advanced Copy function for ETERNUS2000 models 100 and 200 (Optional), and the high-speed backup replication software "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager" allows OPC (One Point Copy), the high-speed copying of disk volumes at specified times.

Chapter 1 Overview

P3AM-2512-03EN ETERNUS2000 disk storage system User Guide

■ High reliability supports 24/7/365 operation

• Duplication of important components

Important components such as controllers, 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.

• RAID6 responds to the double failure of disk drives

ETERNUS2000 supports RAID6, using two parity disks in one RAID group. RAID6 ensures the data safety in the unlikely case of a fatal second malfunction within a single RAID group. Also the ETERNUS2000 supports RAID1, RAID1+0, and RAID5 to realize the flexible RAID configuration.

• Redundant copy ensures disk drive redundancy

ETERNUS2000 diagnoses the disk drives to detect the failure prediction. When the disk drive requires preventive maintenance, ETERNUS2000 automatically copies the data in the target disk drive to ensure data redundancy.

• Block Guard ensures data integrity

ETERNUS2000 adds check codes and check them at multiple checkpoints on data transfer path to ensure the data integrity.

1.2 Configuration

This chapter describes items to be noted before configuring the ETERNUS2000 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

ETERNUS2000 supports the following RAID levels.

• RAID0 (striping)

• RAID1 (mirroring)

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

• RAID5 (striping with distributed parity blocks)

• RAID6 (striping with distributed double parity blocks) (*1)

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

single RAID group. RAID6 redundancy allows high availability system operation.

Each RAID level description is shown below.

CAUTIO

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

Chapter 1 Overview

P3AM-2512-03EN ETERNUS2000 disk storage system User Guide

• RAID0 (striping)

Data is split in unit of blocks and stored across multiple disks.

Figure 1.1 RAID0 Concept

• RAID1 (mirroring)

RAID1 stores the same data on two duplicated disks at the same time. If one disk drive fails, other disk drive continues operation.

Table 1.3 show the recommended number of disk drives that configures a RAID group.

Table 1.3 Recommended number of disk drives per RAID group

Note:

• Adding more disk drives to a RAID group improves performance.

• Use of higher capacity disk drives in a RAID group will increase the time required for the drive rebuild process to complete.

• Similarly, the more disk drives per RAID5 or RAID6 group, the longer the drive rebuild process will take following a disk drive failure.

■ Volume

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

1.2.4 Hot Spare Disks

Hot spare disks are used as the spare disk drives when the disk drives in the RAID group have failed, or are in error status. Make sure to register the hot spare disk. If the hot spare disk has been registered, when one of the disk drives in the RAID group has a problem, data from this drive is automatically repaired into the hot spare disk.

Figure 1.9 Hot Spare Disks

1.2.5 Disk Drives

Two kinds of disk drive can be installed in the device: SAS disk drives and Nearline SAS disk drives. Each disk drive are suitable for the following usages.

• SAS Disk Drive

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

• Nearline SAS Disk Drive

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

CAUTIO

• If a disk drive configured in a RAID1, RAID1+0, RAID5, or RAID6 group fails, contact your maintenance engineer immediately as the failed disk drive should be replaced at once. If another disk drive fails before the first disk drive that failed is replaced, the data of the second disk drive may be lost.

• Disk drives in Slot#0 – Slot#3 of controller enclosure (system disks) cannot be registered as a hot spare disk.

1.2.6 Host Interface

ETERNUS2000 is available in three types: a Fibre Channel type with Fibre Channel host interfaces, an iSCSI type with iSCSI host interfaces, and a SAS type with SAS host interfaces.

• Fibre Channel interface

Fibre Channel supports two connection topologies, Arbitrated Loop and Fabric. Maximum transfer speed is 4Gbps. This interface is used for database servers, for the expandability and performance benefits it provides.

• iSCSI interface

iSCSI is the protocol that sends and receives SCSI commands to IP packets on Ethernet. Maximum transfer speed is 1Gbps. This interface is used for a section in large companies, or for small and medium companies, since this interface can be introduced at a lower cost than Fibre Channel interface. To ensure efficient iSCSI performance, we recommend that networks used for general purposes, such as accessing the Internet or transferring files, and networks used for iSCSI be physically separated.

• SAS interface

The SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface uses serial rather than parallel data transfers in order to provide improved performance, while still maintaining the high reliability of conventional SCSI. With this interface the server is attached via a DAS (Direct Attached Storage) connection. Because DAS connections are less scalable than SAN connections, it is recommended that use of this interface be restricted to smaller-scale systems. Maximum transfer speed is 3Gbps.

1.3.3 Advanced Copy

The Advanced Copy functions allows the ETERNUS2000 to carry out high-speed data copying operations on its own, with no need to draw on server resources. Advanced Copy is a function that copies the data from one volume (copy source) to another volume in the same device (copy destination), at a specific point in time. This high-speed data copy function makes data backup, data restoration and test data replication quick and easy tasks. To use Advanced Copy functions, "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager" is required. By using "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager", "High-speed Backup", "High-speed Replication", and "Tape Backup" using Advanced Copy function can be performed without interrupting the operation.

Figure 1.12 Example for use Advanced Copy function

The following methods are available as the Advanced Copy function.

• OPC (One Point Copy)

One Point Copy (OPC) is a function that copies data in the volume (copy source) to another volume in the same device (copy destination) at a specific point in time. OPC is suitable for the following usages.

• Making backup

• Making replicas

• Restoration from the backup data (restoration after replacing a disk drive when the copy source disk drive has failed)

• 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 (restoration after replacing a disk drive when the copy source disk drive has failed)

• SnapOPC

Unlike OPC, the SnapOPC just records changes as the data is updated. SnapOPC is suitable for the following usages.

• Making temporary backup for tape backup

• Backup for less updated data

• 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

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:

1.3.5 Logical Device Expansion (LDE)

Logical Device Expansion (LDE) allows the capacity of an existing RAID group to be dynamically extended by the addition of extra disk drives. By using LDE 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) 146GB configuration converted to a RAID5(4+1) configuration by the addition of an extra disk.

1.3.7 Security Functions

ETERNUS2000 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.

POWER STATUS LED

CAUTIO

AC power supply recovery after power failure does not automatically start the battery recharge process until the ETERNUS2000 is also turned on. As the contents of the cache memory will clear as soon as the battery is fully drained, the ETERNUS2000 must be turned on immediately following AC power supply recovery, or the AUTO POWER switch may be set to ON instead.

Chapter 2 Hardware

P3AM-2512-03EN ETERNUS2000 disk storage system User Guide

MPORTAN

• If a power failure is detected, data in the cache memory is saved for up to 48 hours when the battery is fully charged and for up to 96 hours when additional battery is also fully charged. After AC power supply recovery, the battery recharge process starts as soon as the ETERNUS2000 is turned back on. It takes up to six hours to fully charge the battery.

• If a power failure lasts for more than 20ms, data in the cache memory is saved using the battery. If the power failure ends within 20ms, the operation can be continued.

• When a power failure is detected, a buzzer will sound for 30 seconds. If this occurs, make sure that the power cord has not been accidentally unplugged.

• If the remaining power of the installed battery is less than 30 percent, or a battery unit fails, performance may be degraded temporarily.

• The ETERNUS2000 uses a Nickel-Metal Hydride battery. The cache memory data retention period during power failure shortens depending on the remaining battery power. The battery is charged automatically during ETERNUS2000 operation, but if left unattended without operating for an extended period of time, the battery power remaining will decrease gradually by self-discharge. Make sure to operate the ETERNUS2000 for more than one to two hours every one to two months in order to charge the battery.

• Turn on or off the ETERNUS2000 by power switch or battery control device. If the ETERNUS2000 is turned off in a way other than previously described, the battery is charged and discharged. This shortens the replacement cycle and the battery may need to be replaced earlier than expected.
