Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F700 Hardware Reference Guide 11

Preface

Chapter 1: Overview

The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F700 is a versatile modular, rack-mountable all-ash
array storage system equipped with drive boxes, supporting ash module drives, scaled
for various storage capacity congurations. To deliver consistent low latency host
response times and highest IOP performance across all host connection ports,
conventional hard-disk drives are not supported in an all-ash conguration.

The storage systems provide high performance operations by using dual controllers with
high-speed processors, dual in-line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache ash
memory (CFM), battery, fans and ports to connect iSCSI and Fibre Channel I/O modules.
Each controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-band management. If the data
path through one controller fails, all data drives remain available to hosts using a
redundant data path through the other controller.

For reliability, essential hardware components are implemented with a redundant
conguration so that the storage system can remain operational if a component fails.
Adding and replacing components, along with rmware upgrades, can be conducted
while the storage system is active and without interruption of data availability to the
hosts. A hot spare drive can be congured to replace a failed data 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.

Block configuration

A storage system congured for block-level storage provides the ability to access and
provision raw storage volumes using protocols such as Fibre Channel and iSCSI.

A block conguration consists of the following:

■

Two controllers

■

One or more drive trays

■

Optional service processor (SVP)

Features

All storage systems are highly reliable, versatile, and able to scale its performance by
adding more drive chassis and data drives. Depending on the system conguration, the
drive chassis oerings support SAS-interface solid-state and ash module drives.

Chapter 1: Overview

Chapter 2: System controller

The storage systems are equipped with dual controllers for communicating with a data
host.

Each controller includes the following internal components such as a processor, dual in­line cache memory modules (DIMMs), cache ash memory (CFM), battery, and fans. The
controller has an Ethernet connection for out-of-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.

CBL controller chassis

The controller chassis houses controllers, backup fan modules, and power supplies. The
chassis also includes specic functional LEDs located on the front and rear of controller
to provide its operating status.

The following table lists the controller board specications.

Chapter 5: Maintaining the storage system

Ongoing proper maintenance of the storage system maintains the reliability of the
storage system and its constant availability to all hosts connected to it.

For more complex maintenance activities, contact customer support.

Storing the storage system

If the storage system does not receive power for more than six months, the battery can
become discharged and possibly damaged. To avoid this situation, charge the battery for
more than three hours at least once every six months.

Note: Do not store the equipment in an environment with temperatures of
104ºF (40ºC) or higher because battery life will be shortened.

Powering off the storage system

Procedure

1. Press the main switch on the controller chassis for approximately three seconds

until the POWER LED on the front of the chassis changes from solid green to a
blinking status.

2. Release the main switch and the POWER LED returns to solid green after blinking for
approximately three seconds.
The power-o process begins. The process takes approximately 18 minutes or
longer depending on the amount of data that needs to be written. The POWER LED is
solid green during the powering o process. The POWER LED changes from green to
amber when the process is completed.

3. Verify the POWER LED on the front of the storage system changes from green to
amber.

4. To stop the power supply, remove the power cables from the power supply units on
the controller chassis and drive box.

If the storage system is connected to a PDU, you can stop the power supply by
turning o the PDU breaker.

Note: If the storage system does not receive power for more than six
months, the battery can become discharged and possibly damaged. To
avoid this situation, charge the battery for more than three hours at
least once every six months.

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F700 Hardware Reference Guide 39

Chapter 5: Maintaining the storage system

Battery unit

Battery lifetime

The battery life time is aected by the battery temperature. The battery temperature
changes depending on the intake temperature and height of the storage system, the
conguration, operation of the controller boards and drives, charge-discharge count and
others. The battery lifetime will be three to ve years.

Treatment

Use the storage system in a place where the ambient temperature is 86°F (30°C) or less
on average.

Periodic parts replacement is required. If you have a maintenance service contract, parts
are replaced periodically according to the terms of the contract.

Battery unit

Note: The battery protects the data in the cache memory in an emergency,
such as a sudden power failure. In these cases, follow the normal power
down procedure. If not, the battery might reach its lifespan earlier than
expected and become unusable within three years. When replacing the
battery, follow the given procedure for disposing a used battery.

Replacement period

The battery lifetime (intake temperature is 30 degrees C or less.) in the standard
environment is as shown below.

Storage System Intake Temperature CBL

Up to 24 degrees Celsius 5 years

Up to 30 degrees Celsius 5 years

Up to 34 degrees Celsius 4 years

Acoustic Noise

The acoustic level is measured under the following conditions in accordance with
ISO7779 and the value is declared based on ISO9296. In a normal installation area (data
center / general oce), the storage system is surrounded by dierent elements from the
following measuring conditions according to ISO, such as noise sources other than the
storage system (other devices), the walls and ceilings that reect the sound. Therefore,
the values described in the table do not guarantee the acoustic level in the actual
installation area.

■

Measurement environment: In a semi-anechoic room whose ambient temperature is
23ºC±2ºC.

■

Device installation position: The Controller Chassis is at the bottom of the rack and
the Drive Box is at a height of 1.5m in the rack.

■

Measurement position: 1m away from the front, rear, left or right side of the storage
system and 1.5m high (at four points).

■

Measurement value: Energy average value of the four points (front, rear, left and
right).

The recommendation is to install the storage system in a computer room in a data
center. It is possible to install the storage system in a general oce, however, take
measures against noise as required. When you replace an existing storage system with
another system in a general oce, especially note the following: The cooling fans in the
storage system are downsized to enhance the high density of the storage system. As a
result, the rotation number of the fan is increased than before to maintain the cooling
performance. Therefore, the rate of the noise occupied by high-frequency content is
high.

Operating (Recommended) 90 dB or less

Note:

*

Fire suppression systems and acoustic noise:

Some data center inert gas re suppression systems when activated release gas from
pressurized cylinders that moves through the pipes at very high velocity. The gas exits
through multiple nozzles in the data center. The release through the nozzles could
generate high-level acoustic noise. Similarly, pneumatic sirens could also generate
high-level acoustic noise. These acoustic noises may cause vibrations to the hard disk
drives in the storage systems resulting in I/O errors, performance degradation in and
to some extent damage to the hard disk drives. Hard disk drives (HDD) noise level
tolerance may vary among dierent models, designs, capacities and manufactures. The
acoustic noise level of 90 dB or less in the operating environment table represents the
current operating environment guidelines in which Hitachi storage systems are
designed and manufactured for reliable operation when placed 2 meters from the
source of the noise.

Hitachi does not test storage systems and data drives (includes HDDs, SSDs, and FMDs)
for compatibility with re suppression systems and pneumatic sirens. Hitachi also does
not provide recommendations or claim compatibility with any re suppression systems
and pneumatic sirens. The customer is responsible to follow their local or national
regulations.

To prevent unnecessary I/O error or damages to the hard disk drives in the storage
systems, Hitachi recommends the following options:

1. Install noise-reducing baes to mitigate the noise to the hard disk drives in the
storage systems.

2. Consult the re suppression system manufacturers on noise reduction nozzles to
reduce the acoustic noise to protect the hard disk drives in the storage systems.

3. Locate the storage system as far as possible from noise sources such as
emergency sirens.

4. If it can be safely done without risk of personal injury, shut down the storage
systems to avoid data loss and damages to the hard disk drives in the storage
systems.

Damage to the hard disk drives from re suppression systems or pneumatic sirens will
void the hard disk drive warranty.

Physical service processor connections

The SVP is available as an optional, physical device provided by Hitachi Vantara or as a
virtual guest host running on customer-provided ESX servers and VM/OS licenses and
media. The SVP provides error detection and reporting and supports diagnostic and
maintenance activities involving the storage system.

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F700 Hardware Reference Guide 65

Appendix C: Network access

Physical service processor connections

In a VSP Fx00 conguration, both the storage system and the SVP reside on the same
private network segment of your local-area network (LAN). The management console PC
used to administer the system must also reside on the same private network segment.

Physical SVP connectivity requires all of the following:

■

A static IP address for the SVP that is on the same network segment as the storage
system.

■

One Ethernet connection from each controller to separate LAN ports on the SVP.

■

One Ethernet connection to your network switch.

■

At least one management console PC on the same network segment as the SVP and
storage system.

Note: The SVP running Windows 10 operating system does not provide a way
to disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). If your network has BPDU enabled to
prevent loops, connect the user LAN port on controllers 1 and 2 to an
Ethernet switch instead of connecting them to SVP LAN 3 and LAN 4 ports.

Managing cables

Protecting cables

Damage to the cables can aect the performance of your storage system. Observe the
following guidelines to protect the cables:

■

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 aect your data stream.

■

If you run cables from overhead supports or from below a raised oor, 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.

■

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 xed to
the storage system.

Cabling full-width modules

When cabling full-width modules, route the cables horizontally, so that they do not
interfere when replacing a module.

Ensuring adequate airow

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F700 Hardware Reference Guide 80

Appendix D: Data and power cables

Bundled cables can obstruct the movement of conditioned air around your storage
system.

■

Secure cables away from fans.

■

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

■

Use ooring 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 specic 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

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 specic 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 specic 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.

Appendix D: Data and power cables

Power cable usage guidelines

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-specic 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

Power cable usage guidelines

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 ow 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 handling capabilities of three-phase distribution
can result in more ecient and less costly installations that require fewer AC cables
and PDUs.

Cable management

Rack installations should be planned for operational eciency, ease of maintenance, and
safety. Hitachi oers the Backend Conguration 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.

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F700 Hardware Reference Guide 85

Appendix D: Data and power cables

Appendix E: Power distribution units for Hitachi
Universal V2 Rack

The Hitachi Universal V2 Rack is equipped with specic power distribution units (PDU) for
Americas, APAC, and EMEA regions. The PDUs can provide electrical power to the storage
system in a single-phase or three-phase conguration.

Caution:

■

Before installing third-party devices into the rack, check the electrical
current draw of each device. Verify the electrical specications and
allowable current load on each PDU before plugging the device into the
PDU.

■

Balance the electrical current load between available PDUs.
