Overview

The HPE StoreEasy 1X60 Storage system provides multi-protocol file sharing and application storage for
a range of business environments. Built on HPE ProLiant server and Microsoft Windows Storage Server,
the StoreEasy 1X60 Storage system easily integrates into new and existing environments and efficiently
maximizes resources through file and data management without increasing costs. The StoreEasy 1X60
Storage system provides the following advantages:

• Each system ships from the factory with pre-integrated hardware and pre-loaded software to
significantly reduce the time and complexity of installation.

• Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Microsoft management integration, including Microsoft Server
Manager and System Center and Systems Insight Manager and Integrated Lights Out (iLO).

The StoreEasy 1X60 Storage systems are based on the ProLiant server. The table identifies the ProLiant
model for each StoreEasy 1X60 Storage product:

Cabling the storage system

The StoreEasy systems support both single domain and dual domain cabling using D2000, D3000, and
D6000 disk enclosures, depending on the SmartArray RAID controller that is installed in the system. In a
single domain, external disk enclosures are connected, using a single data path, to the Smart Array
controller in the StoreEasy system. In a dual domain, external disk enclosures are connected, using two
data paths, to a single Smart Array RAID controller in the StoreEasy system. For more detailed
information about single and dual domains, see the technology brief entitled, “Redundancy in enterprise
storage networks using dual-domain SAS configurations” located at: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/

The following are the types of cables that you can use with the D3000 disk enclosures:

• External 0.5m (1ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable

• External 1.0m (3ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable

• External 2.0m (6ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable

• External 4.0m (13ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable

The following are the types of cables that you can use with the D2000/D6000 disk enclosures:

• 0.5m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable

• 1.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable

• 2.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable

• 4.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable

• 6.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable

When connecting disk enclosures to the StoreEasy system, consider the following guidelines:

• In a single domain configuration, the secondary I/O modules on the D6000 are not used, so they might
or might not be installed. The cabling diagrams in this section show the secondary I/O modules are not
installed.

• For single domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the P441 or
P841 controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).

• For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the P441
controller are 8 D2000 or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).

• For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the P841
controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).

NOTE:

◦ The maximums listed are based on the number of drives per controller. Any StoreEasy system

could have additional or alternate controllers installed, which would affect the overall number of
supported disk enclosures. The maximum number of enclosures that can be connected to a
controller is eight.

◦ The P441 or P841 controllers support:

– Up to 200 physical drives.

– D2000 and D3000 disk enclosures; up to eight daisy chained in either single or dual domain

configuration.

– D6000 disk enclosure. Only one D6000 enclosure can be connected. Daisy chaining is not

supported.

• In the cabling diagrams for the D2000/D3000 disk enclosure, the D2600 disk enclosure is used. Be
aware that the cabling configuration is exactly the same for all D2000/D3000 disk enclosures.

• The D6000 disk enclosure does not support the use of SAS daisy chains; the D2000/D3000 disk
enclosures supports SAS daisy chains. In a SAS daisy chain, the D2000/D3000 disk enclosures are

6 Setup and install

connected to each other — I/O module A from each disk enclosure is connected together and I/O
module B of each disk enclosure is connected together.

• Only supported, documented cabling configurations are shown. Only cabling configurations shown in
this document or in related D2000/D3000 or D6000 documentation are supported configurations.

CAUTION:

When cabling a dual domain configuration, ensure that you do not connect multiple controllers in the
StoreEasy system to the same disk enclosure; this is an unsupported configuration and might result
in data loss. If the StoreEasy system is configured incorrectly, and you attempt to use Pool
Manager, Pool Manager will detect the configuration and display an error message. The controllers
can be connected to different disk enclosures.

An alternate way of connecting the D2000 disk enclosures to the P822 controller is to have 4 groups of 2
disk enclosures each. This cabling option provides better fault tolerance because the worst case scenario
(besides a controller failure) is losing access to two disk enclosures if one disk enclosure goes down. In
the following diagram, the worst case scenario is losing access to all four disk enclosures in a group if
one disk enclosure goes down.

Dual domain cabling diagrams with D2000/D3000 Disk
Enclosures

In dual domain configurations with the D2000/D3000 Disk Enclosures, you have the option of cabling for
best fault tolerance or best performance. The disk enclosures are put into two groups of four disk
enclosures each. There is always one path to the disk enclosure from the controller (from either the top
disk enclosure in the group or the bottom disk enclosure in the group). The green path carries the data if
the red path is broken. Besides a controller failure, the worst case scenario is losing access to one I/O
module if an I/O module fails. The following diagram illustrates the SAS daisy chain between disk
enclosures.

6. Connection from the P822 controller to port 2 of I/O module A on the top D2600 in Group 2

7. SAS daisy chain – port 1 of I/O module B on the top D2600 connects to port 2 of I/O module B on the
bottom D2600 and port 1 of I/O module A on the top D2600 connects to port 2 of I/O module A on the
bottom D2600

8. Connection from the P822 controller to port 2 of I/O module A on the top D2600 in Group 1

The following diagram illustrates the best performance. The difference between this cabling and fault
tolerance cabling is that the beginning and ending connections from the controller to a disk enclosure are
always to the first disk enclosure in the group. Essentially, the request from the controller to a disk
enclosure moves faster because it does not have to travel through a series of disk enclosures. However,
this cabling does not provide fault tolerance. If an I/O module in the first disk enclosure fails, you will lose
access to all disk enclosures in the group.
