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.
