Chapter
1
About the PFR600 Series
This chapter introduces the PFR600 Series Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis.
Topics include:
• PFR600 Seri es fea ture s
• PFR600 Se rie s comp on e nts
• Configurations
PFR600 Series features
The PFR600 Series Fibre Channel RAID Storage Chassis is a high performance, high
availability mass storage system. High-bandwidth storage is made possible using
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) technology. The PFR600 Series’s modular,
scalable design provides additional disk storage as your needs increase.
2359
Feature highlights:
• Ten drives in a 3U vertical rack space
• No single point of failure
• Many active components are hot-serviceable
• Scalable expansion using RAID Expansion Chassis
• Optional dual RAID controllers provide Fibre Channel failover
• Copper or Optical Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor Pluggable interface (SFP)
The PFR600 Series utilizes dual FC-AL technology, allowing two loop
configurations within a single chassis. Port-Bypass Circuits have been added to
maintain loop integrity during failures without user intervention. Each loop and
associated Port Bypass Circuits along with all other active components are on
20 February 2004 PFR600/E Instruction Manual 15
Chapter 1 About the PFR600 Series
redundant modules. This improves serviceability and increases fault tolerance by
eliminating any single point of failure. With two RAID Controllers, the two loops
within a single standard chassis are configured as a single loop with a backup loop in
standby mode.
PFR600 features
The PFR600 controllers provide enhanced performance of up to 2 Gb/s transfer rates
using SCSI protocol. Interchangeable SFPs (Small Form-factor Pluggable) adapters
allow you to configure your PFR600 for operation in a copper or fiber-optic (optical)
cabling environment. Generally, use optical SFPs and cables, which are rated at
2Gb/s, wherever possible, such as to connect a PFR600 to a Profile XP Media
Platform equipped with a Fibre Channel Disk II card, or to a Fibre Channel switch in
an Open SAN installation. Use copper SFPs and cables, which are rated at 1 Gb/s, to
connect a PFR600 directly to an older Profile XP Media Platform that does not
contain a Fibre Channel Disk II card.
The PFR600 su pp orts up to four PFR6 00E RAID Expansio n Ch as s is. It doe s not
support connection to PFR500E RAID Expansion Chassis. Always use optical SFPs
and cables to connect the PFR600 to PFR600E RAID Expansion Chassis to ensure
optimal performance of your RAID storage system.
Capacity and redundan cy
The PFR600 Series contains five or ten half-height 3.5" Fibre Channel Arbitrated
Loop (FC-AL) disk drives. The chas sis also support s one or two hardware RAID
Controllers in one 3U high rack-mountable chassis. The PFR600 Series currently uses
36GB, 73GB or 146GB drive capacities. With ten drives, one chassis holds up to
360GB, 730GB or 1.46TB depending on the disk drive option.
The RAID Expansion Chassis provides additional storage capacity. It is an identical
chassis with two Loop Bypass Board installed. Up to four RAID Expansion Chassis
can be connected to a single PFR600 Series comprising a single disk-array storage
system with a total of 60 driv es and 2. 16TB, 4.38TB or 8.88TB of stora ge de pending
on the disk drive option. The built-in chassis daisy-chaining capabilities provide for
cost effective storage expansion as requirements grow.
16 PFR600/E Instruction Manual 20 February 2004
PFR600 Series components
The PFR600 Series components are:
• The chassis with passive midplan e board
• One or two RAID controllers (not present i n expansion units)
• One or t wo Loop Bypass B oards
• As many as ten Fibre Channel disk drives per chassis
• Two power supplies
• Two fa n modules
The disk drives, power supplies, and fan modules are hot-swappable field replaceable
units (FRUs), which means you can add or replace them while the PFR600 Series is
powered up.
IMPORTANT: You must not hot swap operational devices such as disk drives
without first disabling the target component using the Grass Valley Disk Utility.
An optional second RAID Controller Module in the PFR600 Series, allows for
continued access to the PFR600 Series if the primary RAID Controller fails. Adding
a second RAID Controller to the same chassis is not intended to increase performance,
but rather to add re dundanc y
for detailed connection and configuration instructions.
. Refer to your Profile XP PVS Series Installation Guide
PFR600 Series components
NOTE: Hot swapping disk drives may occasionally cause a slight interruption in
record or play operations.
The following figure shows the RAID Storage Chassis components. Details on each
component follow the figure.

NOTE: Every PFR600 Series RAID controller includes a backup battery so that if
electrical power is lost, data stored in cache memory will be saved. Data store cache
is not used in the PFR600 Series, so the Battery Backup module is not used, even
though it ships as part of the LBB module.

Chassis
Chassis
The chassis is a sheet-metal housing which contains a passive midplane and chassis
slots for the RAID Controllers, or Loop Bypass Boards, disk drives, power supplies,
and the fan modules.
Each chassis includes a chassis add ress switch on t he midpl ane boar d that mus t be set
to a unique address 0 thro ugh 9 during installation. Refer to your PVS Series
Installation Guide or the Open SAN Installation Manual for information on setting the
chassis address switch depending how the PFR600 Series RAID is used. See also,
“Chassis address setting requirement” on page 28.
The following diagram shows how disk modules are identified based on the chassis
address and physical location. The chassis with an address set to 0 contains drives
from 1 to 10; the chassis with an address set to 1 contains drives from 11 to 20; and
so forth.
Midplane
The midplane distributes power and signals to all the chassis components. All FRUs
plug directly into midplane connectors. The midplane includes a chassis address
switch that must be set during installation. Refer to “Chassis address setting
requirement” on page 28 for information on setting the chassis address.

20 February 2004 PFR600/E Instruction Manual 19
Chapter 1 About the PFR600 Series
Disk modules
Each disk module consists of a Fibre Channel disk drive in a carrier assembly. If a
disk drive fails, and needs replacing, you can do so while the RAID Storage Chassis
is powered up. Replacement disk drives take 3-4 minutes to begin rebuild after being
installed. (See “Removing and installing disk modules” on page 44.)
The disk drives are 3.5-inch FC-AL drives that conform to the Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) standards and support dual-port FC-AL interconnects
through the two RAID controllers and their cabling.
CAUTION: Once the PFR600 Series RAID is installed and configured, the disk
!
modules become slot dependent. Moving disk modules between physical slots will
result in loss of data and the need to reconfigure the system.

Chapter 1 About the PFR600 Series
Each RAID Controller module includes a Loop Bypass Board (LBB). These boards
provides internal Fibre Channel loops for the disk modules. In the event of an LBB
module failure, the faulty loop is bypassed and all disk drives failover to the
remaining LBB module.
The LBB in the PFR600 RAID Controller module has two Fibre Channel ports: the
Fibre Channel Host Port and the Fibre Channel Loop Port. Copper or optical SFP
(Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules are used in the Host Fibre Channel ports to
connect Fibre Channel cabling to a Profile XP Media Platform or to a Fibre Channel
switch in an Open SAN fabric, respectively. Optical SFP modules are used in the
Fibre Channel Loop ports to connect to a PFR600E. This extends the Fibre Channel
loop of the corresponding PFR600 chassis. There is a port status LED for each Fibre
Channel port. Refer to “Interpreting rear panel status LEDs” on page 42.

24 PFR600/E Instruction Manual 20 February 2004
Power supplies
There are two auto-ranging power supplies, each with its own power cord and standby
switch. Each supply supports a fully configured PFR600 Series RAID and shares load
currents with the other supply, if it is present. The power supplies are designed so as
to protect the disk drives if you install them while the PFR600 Series RAID is
powered up. A disk with power-related faults will not adversely affect the operation
of any other disk.
Each power supply has status LEDs visible from the rear panel. The status LEDs are
described in the “Interpreting rear panel status LEDs” on page 42.
A retaining screw secures the power supply in place. You can add or remove one
power supply in the RAID Storage Chassis while the RAID Storage Chassis is
powered up.
Fan modules
There are two fan modules used to cool the components installed in the PFR600
Series RAID chassis. The fan modules connect to the midplane board for power.
One status LED on the rear panel of the fan module indicates status. The status LED
is described in the “Interpreting rear panel status LEDs” on page 42.
Power supplies
A retaining screw on the fan module holds the module in place.
NOTE: If power is connected, fans run at low speed even with the power supply
switches in standby position.

PFR600 Series Installation Information
This chapter describes information you’ll need to install the PFR600 Series Fibre
Channel RAID Storage Chassis (PFR600/E). Major topics are:
• Installation requirements
• Installing a PFR600/E in an equipment rack
• PFR 6 00/E power-up and initialization
• PFR600/E power-down
Installation requirements
This section describes the following requirements:
• “Site requirements” on page 27
• “Chassis address setting requirement” on page 28
• “Cabling requirements” on page 29
• “Binding disk modules into groups” on page 30
Site requirements
For proper PFR600/E operation, the installation site must conform to certain
environmental specifications. These are detailed below and in Appendix A, “Technical
Specifications and Operating Limits”.
Power
Refer to “AC power requirements” on page 53 for AC power requirements. The values
indicate either the values for the power cord of a PFR600/E with a single power supply,
or the total values shared by the line cords of two power supplies in the same PFR600/
E, with the division between the power cords and supplies at the current sharing ratio. If
one of the two power supplies fails, the remaining supply and cord must support the full
load. You must use a rack mount cabinet with ac power distribution, and have main
branch ac distribution that can handle these values for the number of PFR600s and
PFR600Es that you will interconnect.
Cooling
Make sure your site has air conditioning of the correct size and placement to maintain
the specified ambient temperature range. The air conditioning must be able to handle the
requirements of the PFR600s and any connected PFR600Es as indicated under
“Environmental limits” on page 54.

Maintenance procedures using GVG Disk Utility
Several maintenance procedures can be performed using the GVG Disk Utility
installed on the Profile XP Platform for standalone storage, or on the FSM in Open
SAN systems.
To perform the following tasks, refer to Chapter 3 of the Profile XP System Guide:
• Verifying and loading RAID controller microcode
• Downloading disk drive fi rmware
• Forcing a replacement drive to rebuild
• Disabling operational components for removal
Monitoring PFR600 Series RAID status using
NetCentral
You can moni t or PFR600 Series RAID Stora ge systems usin g Grass Valley’s
NetCentral monitoring software. Enabled by SNMP, NetCentral can continuously
monitor the storage system and send notifications if there is a problem. The SNMP
agent software required for NetCentral monitoring runs on the PFR600 Series RAID
Controller module. As a result, the PFR600 Series RAID appears in NetCentral as a
standalone device rather than a subsystem of the Profile XP Media Platform.
Communication with NetCentral takes place over the RAID Controller Ethernet port.
To monit or the PFR600 Series RAID , you must co nnect network cabling, power on
the system, then configure network and SNMP settings as described in the PVS Series
Installation Guide.
Refer to the Profile XP Service Manual for information on monitoring the PFR600
Series RAID with NetCentral.

Removing and installing disk modules
Use the following instructions to replace a faulty disk module. It should be replaced
while the array is running (hot-swapped).
NOTE: Grass Valley does not support mixing disk drives of differing capacities
within a RAID chassis connected to a Profile XP Media Platform or Open SAN. All
disk drives in any RAID chassis must be of the same capacity. For example, if a
PFR600 and a PFR600E are used, all the disk drives in both the PFR600 and the
PFR600E mus t be of the same capacity.
Moving disk modules
CAUTION: You can destroy the media file system beyond recovery if you move a
!
disk module to a different slot. The service person can move a disk module when you
don’t care about losing the media in the media file system and under the following
cautions:
• The disk module must be unbound.
• Moving a drive module that is part of a LUN to another slo t makes all information
on the LUN inaccessible.
• You must remove and install the disk m odule while the s torage system is p owered
up.
A disk module must be inserted all the way or removed entirely. Do not leave a disk
module partially removed except for periods when you are allowing it to spin down.
When replacing multiple disks, observe the following:
• After removing a disk module, wait for the activity LEDs on the other disk modules
to resume a steady flicker before removing the next module.
• After inserting a disk module, wait for the activity LEDs on the other drives to
resume a steady flicker before inserting the next module.
CAUTION: Handle a disk module gently and use an ESD wristband. Do not remove
!
a faulty disk module until you have a replacement module (with the same part
number) or a filler module available.
44 PFR600/E Instruction Manual 20 February 2004
Removing a disk module
NOTE: If a disk module has been bound into a LUN, do not move it to another slot
unless you do not care about the data on the LUN. Each module has LUN
identifying information written when it is bound. Moving it to another slot can
make information on the original LUN inaccessible.
Generally, you should not remove a disk module unless it is faulty. Refer to
“Interpreting disk module LEDs” on page 41 and “Monitoring PFR600 Series RAID
status using NetCentra l” on page 40.
NOTE: If you wish to remove an operational disk module, use the Grass Valley
Disk Utility to disable the disk before removing it.
To remove the dis k mo du l e:
1. Confirm the drive location by ensuring that the disk module LED is blue or red.
NetCentral messages may report disk faults by disk module number. To locate a
disk modul e by nu mber, lo ok at th e 7-seg ment LED d isplay o n the r ear pan el of th e
RAID Controller or Loop Bypass Boards. It displays a single digit (0 through 9).
This indicates the chassis address of the chassis. The chassis displaying chassis
address 0 contains drives from 1 to 10; the chassis displaying chassis address 1
contains drives from 11 to 20; and so forth.
Removing a disk m odule
NOTE: Use the Identify Disks command in the GVG Disk Utility to flash the LED
on the drive to be removed.
2. Remove the drive support bracket, if installed (refer to “Installing the chassis with
drive the support bracke t” on page 34.)
3. Grasp the relea se lever wit h your thumb a nd index finge r and pull out ward to open the
