Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400, F600 Hardware Reference Guide

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400,

F600

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400, F600 are modular, rack-mountable, allflash arrays that deliver high performance, high reliability, and flashaccelerated scalability.

The storage system contain dual controllers, each controller contains its own processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory (CFM), battery, fans and iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules. Each controller also has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If the data path through one controller fails, all data drives remain available to data hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller.

The storage system can be equipped with embedded network-attached storage (NAS) modules. The NAS modules provide file access through CIFS and NFS protocols and block access by using iSCSI protocols.

All storage system models allow defective drives to be replaced without the interruption of data availability to hosts. A hot spare drive can be configured to replace a failed drive automatically, securing the fault-tolerant integrity of the logical drives. Self-contained, hardware-based RAID logical drives provide maximum performance in compact external enclosures.

hardware overview

Essential hardware components are implemented with a redundant configuration so that the storage system can remain operational if a component fails. Adding and replacing components, along with firmware upgrades, can be conducted while the storage system is active.

The (SVP) to host an element manager (Storage Navigator). The SVP (model number 3919435.P) operates independently from the CPU of the storage system and operating system, and provides out‑of‑band configuration and management of the storage system. The SVP also monitors and collects performance data for key components of the storage system to enable diagnostic testing and analysis for customer support.

The SVP is available as:

• A physical 1U management server provided by Hitachi Data Systems that runs Windows Embedded Standard 7.

• A software application that runs Windows 7 Professional x64 Service Pack 1 (64-bit) on a customer-supplied server hardware, a VMware ESXi host, or Linux KVM host.

• A software application that runs Microsoft Hyper-V Windows Server 2012 R2 on a customer-supplied server hardware running one of the following 64-bit operating systems:

When the storage system enters Cache Backup mode, the amber WARNING LED goes on to when the system starts. This warning indicates that the battery charge has dropped significantly and the remaining battery capacity is not sufficient; the storage system will continue operating with the Write Cache function disabled.

When the battery is charged, the warning indication disappears, and the storage system continues the operation in the Write Cache function.

The warning indication disappears within six hours. Even when the warning is shown, normal operation is assured in Write-Through. Read and write performance is lowered because the Write Cache function is disabled.

If the storage system is not charged for more than six months, the battery can become overcharged and sustain unrecoverable damage. To avoid this situation, charge the battery more than 3 hours every six months.

our Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables can affect the performance of your storage system. Observe the following guidelines to protect cables

Data and power cables 79

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400, F600 Hardware Reference Guide

• Keep cables away from sharp edges or metal corners.

•

When bundling cables, do not pinch or constrict the cables.

• Do not use zip ties to bundle cables. Instead, use Velcro hook-and-loop

ties that do not have hard edges and which you can remove without cutting.

• Never bundle network cables with power cables. If network and power

cables are not bundled separately, electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect your data stream.

• If you run cables from overhead supports or from below a raised floor,

include vertical distances when calculating necessary cable lengths.

• If you use overhead cable supports:

○ Verify that your supports are anchored adequately to withstand the

weight of bundled cables.

○ Gravity can stretch and damage cables over time. Therefore, do not

allow cables to sag through gaps in your supports.

○ Place drop points in your supports that permit cables to reach racks

without bending or pulling.

Cabling full-width modules

When cabling full-width modules, such as NAS modules as shown in the following figure, route the cables horizontally, so that they do not interfere when replacing a module.

80 Data and power cables

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400, F600 Hardware Reference Guide

Ensuring adequate airflow

Bundled cables can obstruct the mo storage system.

• Secure cables away from fans.

• Keep cables away from the intake holes at the front of the storage system.

• Use flooring seals or grommets to keep conditioned air from escaping

through cable holes.

Preparing for future maintenance

Design your cable infrastructure to accommodate future work on the storage system. Give thought to future tasks that will be performed on the storage system, such as locating specific pathways or connections, isolating a fault, or adding or removing components.

• Purchase colored cables or apply colored tags.

• Label both ends of every cable to denote the port to which it connects.

AC power cables

Utility AC power standards for connector types and voltage levels vary by country. Hitachi provides a variety of power cables that facilitate using storage systems around the world. Hitachi power cables meet the safety standards for the country for which they are intended.

Power cable assemblies

For information about racks and power distribution units (PDUs), refer to the Hitachi Universal V2 Rack Reference Guide.

Hitachi power cables consist of three parts:

• Plug: Male connector for insertion into the AC outlet providing power. The

physical design and layout of the plug's contact meet a specific standard.

• Cord: Main section of insulated wires of varying length, whose thickness is

determined by its current rating.

• Receptacle: Female connector to which the equipment attaches. The

physical design and layout of the receptacle's contacts meet a specific standard. Common standards are the IEC C13 receptacle for loads up to 10 amperes (A) and the IEC C19 receptacle for loads up to 15 A.

Hitachi

storage systems are intended for rack installation and ship with power cords. Installation and service requirements may require additional cords and cables to be ordered. The type of power cable required by a given installation is determined primarily by the:

• Type of AC line feed provided by the facility.

• Type of AC source (wall outlet or modular and monitored PDU) to be used.

• Serviceability of components to be connected.

Storage systems require a country-specific power cable for direct connection to a facility AC feed.

Storage systems are designed to allow replacement of hot-pluggable components without removing the chassis from the rack. As a result, power cables can be short because cable movement is of minimal consideration.

Three-phase power considerations for racks

Increasing power requirements for racks are making the use of three-phase power at the rack level compelling.

• With single-phase power, at any given time the voltage across the hot and

neutral conductors can be anywhere between its peak (maximum) and zero. Electrical conductors must be large to meet high amperage requirements.

• Three-phase power uses three cycles that are 120 degrees out of phase,

which never allows the voltage to drop to zero. The more consistent voltage derived from the three hot conductors results in smoother current flow and allows small-gauge conductors to be used to distribute the same amount of AC power. As a result, the load balancing and increased power

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400, F600 Hardware Reference Guide

handling capabilities of three-phase distribution can result in more efficient and less costly installations that require fewer AC cables and PDUs.

Cable management

Rack installations should be planned for operational efficiency, ease of maintenance, and safety. Hitachi offers the Backend Configuration Utility (BECK), a graphical, cable-management application that can relieve the typical cable congestion created when populating a rack with storage systems and their accessories.

Cable retention

Unintentional unplugging or unseating of a power cable can have a serious impact on the operation of an enterprise storage system. Unlike data cables, power connectors do not have built-in retention mechanisms to prevent this from happening.

To prevent accidental unplugging or unseating of power cables, the storage system includes a rubber cable-retention strap near the AC receptacle on each controller. These straps, shown in the following image, loop around the neck of a power cable connector, and the notched tail is slipped over the hook of the restraining bar fixed to the storage system.

Third-party rack support for VSP Fx00 models

The

VSP Fx00 models support third-party racks that meet Hitachi Data

Systems specifications.

Observe the following mounting guidelines for third-party racks:

• The VSP Fx00 models support any 4-post, EIA-310-D compliant rack that

has adequate airflow and weight capacity.

• PDUs must be mounted properly, with no serviceability issues. The PDU

receptacles must face toward the back (not toward each other). The area behind the storage system and between the vertical 19-inch mounting posts must be free of PDUs and cable loops.

Hitachi Universal V2 Rack rail kits

Use rail kits to mount the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform family storage system in a Hitachi Universal V2 Rack.

The following tables list the rail kit information for the specified storage systems.
