Intended audience
This document is intended for customers inquiring about the features and
specifications of the
VSP Fx00 models.
Readers of this document should be familiar with the following:
• Data processing and RAID storage systems and their basic functions.
• The operating system and web browser software on the system hosting
the storage management software.
Safety and environmental notices
Equipment warranty
The term of guarantee of normal operation of the storage system and free service is one year from
date of purchase.
If a failure occurs multiple times, the storage system might shut off to avoid a serious accident.
Notice of export controls
Export of technical data contained in this document might require an export license from the United
States government, the government of Japan. or both. Contact the Hitachi Legal Department for
guidance about any export compliance questions.
Backup
Hitachi cannot guarantee against data loss due to failures. Therefore, back up your data to minimize
chances for data loss.
Data backup is also critical when hardware components are added or replaced, because performing
such hardware procedures restores parameter settings that can affect how data is managed on the
storage systems.
Disposal
This symbol on the product or on its packaging means that y
should be disposed at the end of life separately from your household wastes.
There are separate collection systems for recycling in the European Union. For more information,
contact the local authority or the dealer where you purchased the product.
Recycling
A nickel-metal hydride battery is used in the Cache Backup Battery.
A nickel-metal hydride battery is a resource that can be recycled. When you want to replace the
Cache Backup Battery, call the service personnel. They will dispose of it for you. This nickel-metal
hydride battery, which is designated as recycling product by a recycling promotion low, must be
recycled.
The mark posted on the Cache Backup Battery is a three-arrow mark that indicates a recyclable part.

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.

Block configuration
A stor
age system configured for block-level storage provides the ability to
access and provision raw storage volumes using protocols such as Fibre
Channel and iSCSI.
A block configuration consists of the following:
• Two controllers
• One or more drive trays
• One 1U service processor server (SVP)
Unified configuration
A unified configuration includes embedded NAS modules that support file
system protocols such as CIFS and NFS and operate across a block-level
setup using iSCSI or FC connections.
• Two controllers
• Two NAS modules for file operations and storage
• One or more drive trays for block-level storage
• One 1U block service processor server (SVP)
VSP F400 model
The VSP F400 is a highly reliable all-flash system that offers high storage
capacity with full redundancy to better protect data and manage storage
operations.
The storage system consists of a 4U enclosure that includes two controllers
and two optional NAS modules to support file operations. Drives are
supported using drive trays connected to the controllers.

The
controllers for communicating with a data host.
Each controller includes the following internal components such as a
processor, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache flash memory
(CFM), battery, and fans. The controller has an Ethernet connection for outof-band management using Hitachi Device Manager - Storage Navigator. If
the data path through one controller fails, all drives remain available to data
hosts using a redundant data path through the other controller. The controller
is equipped with LED indicators for monitoring its operating conditions and
notifying possible component replacement.
