Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F800 Hardware Reference Guide
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 your electrical and electronic equipment
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 F800 Hardware Reference Guide

Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F800
hardware overview
The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F800 is a modular, rack-mountable allflash array storage system, with various fixed storage capacity configurations
of FMD DC2 flash storage devices. To deliver consistent low latency host
response times and highest IOP performance across all host connection ports,
no hard-disk drives are included.
The storage systems 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.
Key components are implemented with a redundant configuration, so that the
storage system can remain operational in the unlikely event that a
component should fail. Adding and replacing components, along with
firmware upgrades, can be conducted while the storage system is active.

Block configuration
A storage 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 F800 model
The VSP F800 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.
Drives are supported using drive trays connected to the controllers.
